PTW

Beamscan Water Phantom for Every Linac and Every User

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.

 

AUTOMATED

No tools. No tank shifts. No manual adjustments. Get your BEAMSCAN ready to scan in a fraction of time using BEAMSCAN Auto Setup.

 TRULEVEL

There is a faster, easier way to level the water tank. Align the scanning axes virtually – without moving the tank or scanning arms.

WI-FI

Enjoy true Wi-Fi connectivity. BEAMSCAN is the first 3D water phantom worldwide to include wireless operation and data transfer.

ULTRAFAST

BEAMSCAN combines speed and precision. With its automated setup and faster scanning speeds, BEAMSCAN cuts commissioning time in half.

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 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
