There are several significant benefits to using EPIDs in cancer treatment:
Accuracy: EPIDs provide high-resolution images that allow for precise alignment of the radiation beam with the tumor, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Real-time verification: These devices enable continuous monitoring and adjustment during treatment, ensuring that the radiation is delivered accurately. Improved outcomes: By ensuring precise targeting, EPIDs contribute to the effectiveness of radiation therapy, potentially leading to better treatment outcomes and reduced side effects. Documentation: EPIDs allow for the documentation of treatment delivery, providing valuable records for future reference and quality assurance.
