BEAMSCAN®
Water Phantom for Every Linac and Every User
Faster Setup. Faster Scanning. Better Results.
The BEAMSCAN water phantom is engineered for speed and accuracy. Explore its advanced technology and innovative features that make it an efficient tool for Linac commissioning and QA.
True all-in-one, ready-to-use solution
With all electronics and cables directly built into the system and just one power cable to connect, the all-in-one BEAMSCAN reduces installation time to a minimum.
Simply align it to the linac and plug in the power cable. Done.
Ready to scan in less than 15 minutes
BEAMSCAN comes with a fully automated setup, saving much time and helping prevent typical setup errors.
The interactive BEAMSCAN Wizard, which can be easily accessed using the included iPod touch® or your own mobile device, guides you through the system setup in the treatment room – touch by touch, in a fraction of time. No tools, and no manual adjustments required.
Virtual tank leveling:
Faster, easier, less error-prone
BEAMSCAN uses a unique patented, fully automatic virtual tank leveling that helps eliminate typical error sources in tank alignment.
Based on a three-point measurement and advanced mathematical calculations, TRULEVEL aligns the scanning axes virtually to the water surface without physically moving the tank or scanning arms. No leveling tools and no tank shifts required.
Fast, simple detector installation with patented clip-in TRUFIX®
The patented clip-in TRUFIX detector positioning system, makes it easier than ever to precisely position a detector both vertically and horizontally in a BEAMSCAN water phantom or quickly exchange it without realignment.
Select the appropriate detector holder for axial or radial irradiation, clip it onto the TRUFIX base, then insert your detector, and ready you are.
Perfect scans at maximum speed
With enhanced mechanics and a new built-in state-of-the-art electrometer which is capable of speeds of up to 20 mm/s, BEAMSCAN delivers pinpoint accurate scans in half the time – every time you use it.
True Wi-Fi connectivity
BEAMSCAN is equipped with an intelligent web server to offer hassle-free wireless operation. No need to install data cables every time you use it.
Simply access the built-in BEAMSCAN web server through your own mobile device or PC and complete your auto setup or perform your measurement tasks – faster and easier than ever before.
Innovation down to the smallest detail
From wave prevention to evaporation control, from click-fix SSD adjustment to auto field alignment, BEAMSCAN features many practical improvements and well thought-out details to make your work much easier.
With its inclined tank bottom and a large water hose, which allow for complete draining, BEAMSCAN is as easy to remove and store as it is to install.
The Water Phantom for Everyday and Everyone
BEAMSCAN provides value beyond exceptional beam commissioning capabilities. Discover eight best features for using the BEAMSCAN water phantom for reference dosimetry and routine QA tasks.
15-Minute Setup
All essential setup procedures are fully automated—water flling, detector positioning, tank leveling, CAX and rotational correction. BEAMSCAN is ready to scan in less than 15 minutes—for every user.
Auto Setup Wizard
Access this automated step-by-step guide from any mobile device for intuitive, wireless system setup in the treatment room—from reference run to water filling and virtual tank leveling.
Auto Fill & Full Drain
A built-in water sensor ensures that the water level is always correct, every time for every user. It controls the water pump, which automatically fills the tank to the correct height and drains it completely thanks to the inclined tank bottom—without any manual adjustments.
TRUFIX® Detector Clip-in
The patented clip-in TRUFIX system is designed for fast, simple mounting and positioning of the detector both vertically and horizontally in the BEAMSCAN water phantom.
Remote Control & Measurement
BeamDose software allows users to precisely position the detector at any measurement depth and automatically calculate the dose at the defned measurement position—without entering the treatment room.
Auto EPOM Positioning
The TRUFIX system positions any PTW detector exactly at the effective point of measurement (EPOM), enabling a quick detector exchange without readjustment.
Auto Air Density Correction
A precision temperature sensor that measures temperature directly in the water tank and a built-in atmospheric pressure sensor enable automatic air density correction for accurate dose determination.
Wi-Fi
A built-in web server provides easy wireless operation and data transfer. Want to remain wired? Simply connect to the LAN socket of your BEAMSCAN system.
Infographic: Fast & Easy Reference Dosimetry with the BEAMSCAN Water Phantom
With its built-in design and automated features, BEAMSCAN is faster and easier to use for reference dosimetry than smaller 1D water phantoms. Learn how you can perform reference dose measurements with BEAMSCAN in just a few minutes – using either BeamDose software or a UNIDOS® electrometer.
Fully Automated Setup
BEAMSCAN gets you ready to scan in less than 15 minutes. All setup procedures are fully automated to save linac time and prevent errors. Check out how BEAMSCAN Auto Setup works.
Scan. Analyze. Process. Document.
What beam data do you need to measure and monitor? Standard beam data like large or small-field beam profiles and PDDs, output factors, TPR or absolute dose? Special beam data like scatter factors or SRS cones?
BEAMSCAN comes with a powerful, feature-rich software that makes it easy for you to collect, analyze, process and format your beam data the way you need it.
NEW: Validate Your Treatment Planning System with BEAMSCAN
DICOM2MCC for TPS validation – free and exclusive for any BEAMSCAN user
DICOM2MCC is a new software tool for converting DICOM data (RT Plan, RT Dose) from a treatment planning system (TPS) into PTW mcc data format. It allows you to generate beam profiles and PDDs at different depths, so you can
- independently validate your TPS and/or
- create a reference data set for comparison against actual water tank measurements (e.g., during annual QA).
DICOM2MCC is easy to use and quick to get started; the workflow requires only a few steps. Use the versatile tools of the BEAMSCAN software to process, analyze and compare your measured data against the TPS data. Save your validation and QA results as a PDF file for easy sharing and documentation.
The Iconic Water Phantom by PTW
From virtual tank leveling to inclined tank bottom – BEAMSCAN provides ease-of-use and performance down to the smallest detail. Explore picture by picture why it is trusted and relied on by medical physicists in 100+ countries.
More Options. More Choices. More Value.
BEAMSCAN can be used for a variety of measurement tasks, and works with all major LINAC types, including Halcyon® and Ethos®, without any restrictions.
Customize BEAMSCAN to your commissioning and QA needs. Add detectors, hardware and software tools to get the most of your BEAMSCAN water scanning system.
