Benefits

PMMA water tank

  • Inside cylinder diameter: 214 mm

  • Outside cylinder diameter: 220 mm

  • Lid has quick disconnect valves for ease of filling and draining

  • Aluminum alignment pin (Ø6.3 mm x 76 mm) or a polystyrene TLD insert (for dose measurements) can be attached to the lid

Low contrast section

  • Placed at one end of the water tank

  • 12 fillable cavities 40 mm deep

  • Two pieces of each cavity with diameters: 25.4, 19.0, 12.7, 9.5, 6.4 and 3.2 mm

  • Spaced twice their diameter apart from the centerline

  • Cavities can be easily filled from the outside with dextrose or sodium chloride solutions of various concentrations

Bone insert

  • PTFE annulus

  • Wall thickness 6.4 mm, 70 mm long

  • Fits over all inserts to harden the beam

CT number linearity insert

  • ‍Five 25 mm rods

  • Material: polyethylene, PMMA (acrylic), polycarbonate, polystyrene and nylon

  • Density values (g/cm³): 0.95, 1.19, 1.20, 1.05 and 1.1 respectively

Resolution insert

  • Eight sets / rows of air thru holes (five holes per set)

  • Diameters of holes: 1.75, 1.5, 1.25, 1.00, 0.75, 0.61, 0.50 and 0.40 mm

  • Distance between each hole is equal to the hole diameter

  • Distance between rows 5 mm

  • 0.2 mm stainless steel wire positioned longitudinally for calculation of line-spread function

Slice thickness insert

  • Three aluminum strips, 0.5 mm thick and 25 mm wide angled at 45°, positioned at the centre and aligned vertically

Geometry insert (optional)

  • ‍Contains two pairs of aluminium wire ramps whose slope angle tangent is equal to 0.5

  • Middles of ramps intersect on the same plane allowing for very precise evaluation of the slice location

  • Contains two sets of four PMMA rods (Ø 10mm) placed in vertexes of two squares (sides 100 mm long)

Triple low contrast insert (optional)

  • ‍contains three groups of low-contrast objects. In each group, there are rods of the same density, 20 mm in height and with a diameter ranging from 2 to 15 mm. Density difference between groups and surrounding material is exactly 0.3%, 0.6% and 1.0%

  • made of PMMA


Accessories

  • Filling tubes

  • Optional heavy duty carrying case (04-502)


Product features:

  • Complies with:
    – Report no. 1 of the AAPM (American Association of Physicists in Medicine)
    – IEC 61223-3-5
    – IEC 61223-2-6

  • CE certified

  • The manual provides detailed guidelines for carrying out each test, results assessment and registration
