Measurement without perturbation

The optimal water equivalent detector for small field dosimetry. Unlike other detector types, the water equivalent W2 scintillator does not perturb small field dose distributions when it is placed in the beam, so you can measure small fields with greater accuracy.

Exradin® W2 Scintillator System part of complete solution for: Annual QA & Stereotactic 

 

Significant Clinical Advantages

Unlike other detector types, the water equivalent W2 scintillator does not perturb small field dose distributions when it is placed in the beam, so you can measure small fields with greater accuracy.

 

High Definition

The W2 system features a fiber with a 1x1mm scintillator, improving measurement resolution for the smallest field characterization measurements.

 

Multiple Detectors Included

Easily switch out fibers to meet your measurement needs. Use a 1 x 1 mm detector when resolution is the primary need and a 1 x 3 mm detector when higher signal strength is required.

 

Small Field Scanning

Scintillation signal can be sent from the MAX SD to a water tank scanning electrometer in real time, so the W2 can be used for scanning your small field profiles and depth doses.
