Popis: Abstract Image‐guided radiation therapy (IGRT) technologies are routinely used by radiation therapists (RTs) in clinical departments. However, there is limited literature on the acquisition and assessment of IGRT image‐matching competencies in undergraduate educational environments. This commentary paper aims to share the authors’ experiences in the development of teaching IGRT and image‐matching concepts in an undergraduate radiation therapy programme. It outlines how MOSAIQ oncology information systems (OIS) have enabled the university to embed hands‐on IGRT image matching on a range of clinical cases. The hands‐on exposure to case‐based planar and volumetric kilovoltage (kV) image matching has resulted in improved teaching and better preparation of students for clinical IGRT encounters. Students are likely to benefit from critical image assessment and decision‐making as well as the improved engagement in teaching and learning.
