3D, 2D Low Contrast Phantoms

For measuring the low-contrast resolution in CT and Cone-Beam CT

3D Low Contrast Phantom
- D100 compatible
- Includes several spherical low contrast inserts arranged in two planes
- 2 different contrast levels relative to the background
  - QRM-10109: 3D Low Contrast Phantom (-10 HU)
  - QRM-10110: 3D Low Contrast Phantom (-20 HU)

QRM-10100: 2D Medium-Contrast Phantom
- D100 compatible
- Includes several cylindrical medium-contrast test objects of different sizes (2-15 mm)
- 4 contrast steps in the phantom: -25, -50, -75 and -100 HU
QRM-10112: 2D Low-Contrast Phantom
- D100 compatible
- Includes several cylindrical low-contrast test objects of different sizes (5 - 15 mm)
- Contrast to background -20 HU and -10 HU in one phantom

The phantoms are ideally suited for the evaluation of the imaging capabilities of 3D X-ray imaging modalities (e.g. CT or Cone-Beam CT). The contrast resolution is obtained by a single spiral scan using axial images (QRM-10109, QRM-10110, QRM-10100, QRM-10112) and coronal reformations (QRM-10109, QRM-10110). The phantoms visualize the impact of all, scan, image reconstruction, and display parameters.

The low or medium-contrast inserts (spheres/rods with varying diameters) are located within the cylindrical body of homogeneous tissue-equivalent material.

The phantoms fit into the Thorax, Abdomen and Oval Body Phantom.

QUESTIONS

The new BEAMSCAN features: ready to scan in a few minutes.

1. Simple 'plug-and-go'

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.

2. Automated

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.

3. Patented TRUELEVEL technology

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.

4. Clip-in TRUFIX

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.

5. Rapid Scanning

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.

6. Wireless

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.

7. Superior functionality

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.
