Fastest, most accurate, most reliable machine commissioning & routine QA

Quality beam scanning is essential for accurate treatment planning and delivery. Blue Phantom², paired with myQA Accept scanning software, stands as the premier water phantom solution for Radiation Therapy (RT) beam scanning. Its unique design enables faster and more precise commissioning of RT treatment systems, which is crucial for ensuring safer patient treatments.

The latest Blue Phantom² is based on our 50+ years of experience with providing high quality dosimetry equipment and services to more than 4,000 satisfied water phantom users worldwide.

Innovative & independent QA to maximize patient safety

Blue Phantom² is powered by myQA Accept, our trusted and well-established software, providing the following benefits:

  • Validation of pre-commissioned machines
  • Pre-configured beam data validation
  • QA of your existing beam models (TPS QA)
  • Compatible with any Treatment Planning System (TPS) exporting in DICOM format

What our customers say

  • Scott R. Conley, MS, DABR / CarolinaEast Health System, New Bern, North Carolina, USA

    "The main things I look for in a scanning system are positional accuracy, reproducibility, and stability. The folks at IBA Dosimetry definitely got it right with this one. The typical potentiometers and stepper-motors of other systems are replaced with contact-less absolute measurement sensors. This ingenious piece of engineering provides 0.1 mm accuracy, ± 0.1 mm reproducibility, and unsurpassed long-term stability. Over 20 years, I have used many systems from many vendors. This is by far the best."

  • Mathias Dierl, Head of Medical Physicists / Clinical Center Bayreuth, Germany

    "The Blue Phantom² scanning system with myQA Accept and Stealth Chamber™ are the perfect combination for fast data collection! I was really surprised how easy it was to attach the Stealth Chamber™ to the linac with no need to change or reposition the chamber during the whole commissioning process. This saved us a lot of time. The scan results and the excellent reproducible reference signal quality absolutely satisfied all my needs!"
