BEAMSCAN® MR

The First 3D Water Phantom for MR Linac Commissioning and QA

Explore the comprehensive solution for MR linac commissioning and quality assurance with BEAMSCAN MR. Our streamlined system seamlessly integrates automatic beam data acquisition, processing, analysis, and protocol-based documentation. Designed to meet the highest standards of quality and technology, BEAMSCAN MR offers robustness, versatility, and user-friendly operation. Discover the difference with BEAMSCAN MR.

Key Features

  • Dedicated 3D water phantom for use with MR-linacs ( MR-conditional ≤ 1.5 T, 7 T/m)
  • Two models with vendor-specific water tanks for optimized scanning ranges (max., depending on detector):
    568 mm x 145 mm x 355 mm for Elekta Unity,
    408 mm x 248 mm x 355 mm for ViewRay® MRIdian®
  • All-in-one, ready-to-use system with comfortable touch panel for fast setup
  • Auto alignment – no lasers or light field needed
  • Maximum speed of 30 mm/s for faster scanning
  • Reference-class Semiflex 3D ionization chambers for precise dose measurements in small and standard fields up to 40 cm x 40 cm
  • Quick axial and radial detector setup with patented TRUFIX®
  • Consistent detector orientation for all scans, including off-axis scans
  • Fast, sensitive electrometers with excellent signal-to-noise ratio for perfect scans in all field sizes
  • Straightforward operation – from setup to documentation
  • Fully integrated with Track-it for automated reporting

Powerful Tools for Beam Scanning and Beam Data Analysis

High-speed precision scans

Our system optimizes linac time by automating beam data acquisition through ready-to-use task lists. Additionally, you can create custom task lists to streamline repetitive tasks, such as monthly or annual quality assurance (QA) processes.
