Commissioning and quality assurance of your LINAC

A comprehensive and user-friendly system allows you to concentrate on the essentials, i.e. on measurements and not on the set-up of the measuring device. THALES 3D SCANNER comprises a carriage system, a water phantom, an integrated electrometer and the THALES software – all-in-one. Save valuable time with efficient quality assurance and the intuitive operation of the THALES 3D SCANNER.

From set-up to measurement in just a few steps

All the cables and connections are placed conveniently in the carriage system. After connecting the system, filling the water reservoir takes only a few minutes. You can use field detectors from different manufacturers for your measurements. Field detectors can be installed both horizontally and vertically. The integrated electrometer offers two independent channels with different bias voltages. The water level sensor allows the field detector to be set up correctly. This ensures measurement accuracy. The reference detector is positioned with the help of the positioning plate. The phantom can then be moved into the LINAC.

The process for the automatic orientation of the Central Axis (CAX) completes the setup. The THALES software offers you multiple options for commissioning your LINAC as well as for regular quality assurance.

“Verification of the beam path is indispensable for medical physics. Thanks to its scanning area and compact size, the THALES system is perfect for the task!”

Features

Independent

THALES 3D SCANNER was developed by LAP in collaboration with LINAC users and is a manufacturer-independent measurement tool for quality assurance. Compatible with most available detectors on the market today.

All-in-one

Integration of all workflows, from setup to data verification and storage, simplifies the comprehensive clinical tasks.

Precise

Selected hardware and software components ensure measurement system stability and accuracy, which significantly surpasses standard requirements.

Approved

THALES 3D SCANNER has successfully passed the European CE conformity assessment procedure and is cleared in the USA under 510(k) K200907.

Customizable and automated

Not only can you create individual measuring plans but you can also choose from predefined ones.

Easy to use

The water phantom and the THALES software can be used easily and intuitively ensuring efficient and productive workflows.

The THALES software provides high flexibility and portability

Both integration into the clinic network and the direct connection to the phantom are possible. No additional tools required for the acquisition of data, administration, or evaluation. The data archive has an intelligent search function allowing you to find measurement sequences and generate individual reports. Organize user profiles, LINACs and additional phantoms easily and quickly. The THALES software is web-based and optimized for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers.

Levelling plate

Use the levelling plate to position the phantom optimally on the couch. Due to the weight of the phantom filled with water the couch might tilt imperceptibly. But even a small tilt can have an impact. Easily compensate any deviations with the help of integrated bubble tubes.
