Phantoms

• PHYSICS TOOLS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

The Lucy 3D QA Phantom minimizes clinically relevant

errors by quantifying system variances in the imaging

chain to within 0.1mm. Increase your confidence in your

system to correctly image known volumes, distances and

geometries. Confirm that CT/MRI/Angioscans and image

fusion are accurately recreated within the TPS, assuring

precise target dose delivery

• SRS PATIENT DOSIMETRY QA

Obtain absolute, relative and point dose dosimetry QA

measurements at isocenter and at exact positions off

isocenter, using your current ion chambers, film, diodes,

gels, MOSFETs and TLDs

• RADIATION ALIGNMENT MACHINE QA

Assess optical and geometric isocenter, laser alignment,

indexed table positioning alignment and positioning

coordinates for a comprehensive evaluation of geometric

accuracy. Precisely determine CBCT and MV/kV

isocenter alignment.

• LOCKS INTO SRS FRAMES

Quickly and precisely position the Lucy 3D QA Phantom

within the manufacturer’s exact coordinate system

using the Stereotactic Frame Interface, available for

all commercial SRS systems. Works for invasive and

non-invasive systems.
