The global radiation therapy quality assurance (QA) phantoms market size is expected to reach USD 36.4 Million in 2028 at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period. Quality check and assurance before administration radiation therapy to a cancer patient is imperative to ensure the radiation dose administered is as prescribed by the doctor. Radiotherapy units are need to be checked on a daily, monthly, and annual basis. Enhanced patient and machine quality, rising burden of cancer, and rapid use of tissue-equivalent phantoms are key factors driving revenue growth of market over the forecast period.
Comprehensive quality assurance program is imperative in radiation oncology because accuracy of radiation doses plays a vital role in radiation therapy processes. Quality assurance in radiation therapy verifies safe and consistent fulfilment of dose prescription to target volume ensure normal tissue receive the lowest dose and there is minimal exposure to medical personnel. Quality assurance phantoms enable radiation physicist to recheck beam calibration, dose calibration, treatment planning, and patient position to ensure proper therapy is given to the patient. Better and efficient radiation treatment is available in the developing countries owing to rapid advancements in medical technology and equipment. Increasing concerns surrounding patient safety during radiation processes has led to implementation of stringent regulations and policies and this is expected to boost demand for phantoms across healthcare sector.
