OBJECTIVE: To describe the perception of professionals in radiological techniques regarding the humanization of care in a reference center for radiotherapy treatment. METHOD: This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach that was developed from field research in a reference center in oncology in the South of Brazil. Seven professionals in radiological techniques participated in the study. The data collection instrument was developed with two open questions based on the National Humanization Policy. The data were analyzed based on the assumptions of Bardin's Thematic Content Analysis. RESULTS: Radiology professionals expressed empathy, interest in the health condition of others, and the bond between user and professional as factors that contribute to humanized care. Among the factors that hinder humanized care, the lack of a professional, a well-established routine, and the reduced time for treatment was listed. CONCLUSION: In radiotherapy care, radiology professionals must be attentive to the emotional and physical signs of the user. From this, a humanized and positive relationship of trust and recognition is built.
