RTTs play a crucial role in maintaining treatment reproducibility, a fundamental requirement in RT that becomes even more demanding in single-fraction SBRT. However, the evolution of high-dose ablative treatments is shifting the focus from strict reproducibility to real-time optimization, where adaptive strategies replace traditional pre planned workflows. This transition necessitates a more dynamic and responsive approach, requiring RTTs to develop advanced competencies in real-time decision-making, imaging interpretation, and adaptive workflow management. The integration of hybrid systems and online adaptive radiotherapy (RT) has introduced a clinical parallel workflow, a surgical-like approach in which RTTs, medical physicists, and radiation oncologists collaborate seamlessly to enhance treatment replanning. The interdisciplinary nature of this model fosters closer collaboration between all team members, facilitating treatment standardization and enhancing patient safety. Another key aspect of single fraction SBRT is treatment room management, where workflow optimization is crucial to maintaining efficiency and precision within a condensed treatment timeline. The ability to streamline processes, manage treatment logistics, and implement quality assurance measures in real time is a defining factor in the success of single-fraction SBRT implementation. The expansion of single-fraction SBRT presents both challenges and opportunities, including the need for continuous professional development, refined workflow protocols, and the integration of automation and artificial intelligence-driven tools to support complex decision-making processes. As single-fraction SBRT continues to gain traction, RTTs play a crucial role in ensuring its safe and effective implementation.
