BEAMSCAN® MR
The first motorized 3D water phantom suitable for clinical use in a 1.5 T MR environment
Benefit from a complete solution for commissioning and QA of MR-LINACs – from automatic beam data acquisition, processing and analysis to protocol-based documentation. Built to the highest quality and technology standards, BEAMSCAN MR is exceptionally robust, incredibly versatile and straightforward in its operation. As an all-built-in system, it comes ready to use on a single carriage, including everything needed. A comfortable touch panel guides you step by step through the installation and setup process.
