Optional Rotating Table

  • Designed to enable the rotation of Blue PhantomHelix and Blue PhantomCOMPACT 2D water phantom systems
  • Easy rotation of the filled water phantom for in-plane and cross-plane measurements; avoids the need to drain the water phantom
  • Supports seamless manual rotation of the phantom and exact indexing lock fixation at 0°, 45°, 90°, etc.
  • Supports measurements inside the Varian Halcyon®/Ethos™ bore and also suitable for use with conventional linac measurement sessions

Seamless rotation of your 2D water phantom

What our customers say

  • Blue Phantom Helix

    "We decided on the new Blue Phantom Helix when we bought our TomoTherapy® Hi-Art system in 2010 as it came out top in our evaluations. It was used extensively during commissioning of the TomoTherapy machine and has been used for QA since then. We really appreciate the easy and very fast setup of the tank on the TomoTherapy machine. After setup, the 3D scanning capability of the Blue Phantom Helix enables us to scan lateral as well as longitudinal profiles without changing the setup, which is much more efficient than our other tank. Overall we are very pleased with the quality of the system. Because of these advantages we now use the Blue Phantom Helix for all our commissioning and QA work on our Hi-Art system that requires water tank data."
