Visit three: pretreatment check:

During this appointment, we will verify your treatment by taking X-rays. These X-ray images help ensure you are properly positioned for your treatment. Your medical team will review and confirm all information collected in previous visits. After this appointment, your treatment team will verify that the fields created during planning correlate with those taken on the treatment machine. Adjustments may be made to achieve this goal. Once the correlation is confirmed, tiny permanent reference marks will be made on your skin. Your radiation treatment will begin with your next visit.
