11.2 Gantry Mount Accessory
With the optional Gantry Mount Accessory (REF 70500), the QA BeamChecker Plus can attach
to the gantry accessory tray on most linear accelerators to facilitate measurement at various
gantry angles.
NOTE: The Gantry Mount Accessory must be custom made for a particular accelerator. Contact
Standard Imaging for specific ordering information.
The Gantry Mount Accessory is comprised of three main sections:
Upper section: Interfaces with the accelerator gantry and is custom to a
particular accelerator type
Middle section: Positions the QA BeamChecker Plus at the appropriate
distance from the gantry
Lower Section: Holds the QA BeamChecker Plus securely in place
Using the Gantry Mount Accessory
1. Slide the Gantry Mount Accessory into the accessory tray of the linear accelerator.
Depending on the accelerator type, this could be from the back or front of the gantry. If the
tray requires entry of the mount from the back, it may be helpful to rotate the gantry 90° to
facilitate easier insertion.
2. Slide the QA BeamChecker Plus into the Gantry Mount Accessory with the photon side up.
The black rails on either side of the QA BeamChecker Plus will guide the instrument into
place. Once fully inserted, the unit should “click” into place.
