Blue Phantom PT

The highest resolution for depth dose measurements

Overview

Beam commissioning and Machine QA for Pencil Beam Scanning

IBA Dosimetry has been providing innovative dosimetry equipment and services to more than 4,000 satisfied water phantom users worldwide for over 40 years. Our newest solution for depth dose measurements, the Blue Phantom PT, is specifically designed for Proton Therapy (PT) Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS).

The Blue Phantom PT facilitates faster and more accurate commissioning of PT treatment systems, which is fundamental for safer patient treatments.

With integrated scanning software myQA Accept, the Blue Phantom PT is the technically superior water phantom solution for Proton Therapy beam scanning.
