QA BeamChecker™ Plus

Workflow

Machine QA

Modality

Task Group

Reliable, Uncomplicated Daily QA

Perform routine daily QA measurements for traditional linear accelerators and rotational VMAT systems including those from Varian, Elekta, and Accuray.

Setup Made Simple

All energies in one setup means less prep time and more focus on what matters.

High Dose Rate Compatibility

Rotational and dynamic QA with dose rates up to 2400 MU/min.

Intuitive Communication Software

A straight out of the box solution with powerful reporting and easy to use communication software.

Software-free QA

Standard Imaging's expertise in ion chambers, phantoms and electrometers is the foundation for the innovative QA BeamChecker Plus. Integral build up and automatic energy detection allows the QA BeamChecker Plus to operate independently from its QA management software without the use of wires or cables. Radiation Therapists can deliver beam energies in any order, allowing for fast, intuitive morning QA in up to 9 treatment rooms.
