What are Electronic Portal Imaging Devices (EPIDs)?
Electronic Portal Imaging Devices (EPIDs) are advanced imaging tools used in radiation therapy for cancer treatment. These devices are integrated into linear accelerators and provide real-time imaging capabilities, allowing for precise verification of the treatment area before and during radiation therapy. EPIDs utilize flat-panel detectors to capture high-resolution images, which can be used to ensure that the radiation is being delivered accurately to the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissues.
