Blue Phantom COMPACT is a high-end water phantom with smaller dimensions and minimized weight for easy transport, including between satellite hospitals.
Compatible with: Bore-type linacs, C-arm linacs, TG106, TG51
Used for: Commissioning and Annual QA RT
Unlimited usability & compact footprint
The Blue Phantom COMPACT is a two-dimensional radiation field analyzer, designed for commissioning, acceptance testing, and routine QA of linear accelerators. Each component of the system is carefully designed for top performance, ensuring the same quality and versatility found in all IBA Dosimetry water phantoms.
- Promotes easy transportation for more efficient use, e.g., for annual checks
- Optimized for satellite hospitals and commissioning service providers
- 2D high-end water phantom with smaller dimensions and minimized weight
Innovative & independent QA to maximize patient safety
Blue Phantom COMPACT is powered by myQA Accept, our trusted and well-established software, providing the following benefits:
- Validation of pre-commissioned machines
- Pre-configured beam data validation
- QA of your existing beam models (TPS QA)
- Compatible with any TPS exporting in DICOM format
Optional Rotating Table
- Designed to enable the rotation of Blue Phantom COMPACT and Blue Phantom Helix 2D water phantom systems
- Easy rotation of the filled water phantom for in-plane and cross-plane measurements; avoids the need to drain the water phantom
- Supports seamless manual rotation of the phantom and exact indexing lock fixation at 0°, 45°, 90°, etc.
- Supports measurements inside the Varian Halcyon ® /Ethos™ bore and also suitable for use with conventional linac measurement sessions
