Covid-19: ‘Can I work on a diagnostic CT scanner as a therapeutic radiographer?’

The Society and College of Radiographers has received requests from members about the need for clarification on whether a therapeutic radiographer who uses CT as part of radiotherapy planning for cancer patients, can then also use a diagnostic CT scanner to image non-cancer patients with the aim to diagnose other conditions.

SCoR does not advocate this change in or transfer of skills for any therapeutic radiographer to ‘effectively’ work as a diagnostic radiographer.
