Blue Water Phantom Overview

A New Standard in Water-Equivalency

Water equivalent material within 1.0% for photons, and is free of contaminants and air.
Slabs from this unique material are exceptionally strong and will not stick together when stacked or stored.
Not affected by changes in temperature or humidity
Can be used for electrons

Unique Chamber Slab Design

In slabs that are at least 2 cm thick, cavities are available to accommodate parallel plate ion chambers or thimble type ion chambers. Instead of having multiple slabs for each thimble type ion chamber, a single ion chamber slab is used with interchangeable ion chamber plugs.

Features

Wide Range: Available in nine standard thicknesses.
Tested for Consistency: Each production is tested at an independent calibration laboratory for consistency.

Additional products that utilize Blue Water

QA BeamChecker Plus: Perform fast daily QA. Automatic energy detection, measurement acquisition, and reset.
Stereotactic Dose Verification Phantom: Accommodates ion chamber and film dose measurements for commissioning treatment systems and plan specific dose verification.
