Blue Water

Fast, easy-to-set-up alternative to traditional water tanks for routine checks of a linear accelerator's photon beam.

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.
