  1. This is the goal of radiation therapy simulation.


Answer: What is ensuring the patient is in the same exact position every session?

100


  1. This system uses CT imaging data to create a 3D view of the patient’s anatomy.



  1. What is a CT simulator


100


  1. This type of device includes molds, casts, and headrests.



  1. What are immobilization devices?


100


  1. These masks are shaped by warming up plastic in a water bath.



  1. What are thermoplastic masks?


100


  1. This method involves letting the tumor motion be fully included in the treatment field.



  1. What are motion-encompassing methods?


200


  1. This professional carries out simulation under supervision of the radiation oncologist.



  1. Who is the radiation therapist?


200


  1. One main difference between a CT scanner and CT simulator is the table shape.



  1. a flat table on the CT simulator vs a curved table on the CT scanner


200


  1. These custom plastic masks are used to keep head and neck patients in position.



  1. What is a thermoplastic mask?


200


  1. Holes may be cut out in masks to accommodate this airway opening.



  1. What is a tracheostomy?


200


  1. This method turns the radiation beam on and off depending on breathing cycles.



  1. What are respiratory-gated methods?


300


  1. Some patients need this injected during simulation to better visualize anatomy.



  1. What is IV contrast?


300


  1. This feature in CT simulation helps with precise patient alignment.



  1. What are external lasers?


300


  1. This board is used to support breast cancer patients during radiation therapy.



  1. What is a breast board?


300


  1. Mask making can take up to this amount of time.



  1. What is 30 minutes?


300


  1. This technique uses breath-holding devices like Active Breathing Control (ABC).



  1. What are breath-hold methods?


400


  1. This imaging technique is the most common type of simulation in radiation therapy.



           What is CT simulation?


400


  1. This step in CT simulation involves creating reference lines on the patient’s skin.



  1. What is alignment and marking?


400


  1. Vacuum cushions, wing boards, and belly boards all fall into this category.



  1. What are common immobilization devices?


400


  1. Masks have anchor points that connect to this treatment machine’s table.



  1. What is the linear accelerator (Linac)?


400


  1. This method involves shallow breathing during treatment.



  1. What are forced shallow-breathing methods?


500


  1. This type of simulation involves real-time imaging using a continuous X-ray beam.



  1. What is fluoroscopy simulation


500


  1. These steps—preparation, positioning, alignment, and acquisition—make up this process.



  1. What is the CT simulation process?


500


  1. Before treatment begins, some patients need to visit this room to have a custom mask made.



  1. What is the mould room?


500


  1. Making and wearing a mask is described as being this.



  1. What is painless?


500


  1. This is one factor that determines which respiratory management method is chosen.



  1. What is tumor location, patient health, or available technology?
