Abstract: The disclosure provides a phantom and method for quality assurance of a hadron therapy apparatus used in the intensity modulated particle therapy mode. The phantom comprises a frame structure comprising a base plate, one or more energy wedges, an energy wedge first face inclined with respect to said base plate and an energy wedge second face perpendicular to said base plate, said one or more energy wedges being mounted on said base plate, a 2D detector; said one or more wedges, and 2D detector being in known fixed positions in relation to said frame structure. Said phantom comprises in addition a Spread-Out Bragg Peak wedge, said SOBP wedge having an SOBP wedge first face inclined with respect to said base plate, and a SOBP wedge second face, perpendicular to said base plate, said SOBP wedge being made of a material having a relative density higher than 1.3 preferably 1.5, more preferably 1.

Abstract: A phantom and method for quality assurance of a particle therapy apparatus used in the intensity modulated particle therapy (IMPT) mode is provided. The phantom comprises a frame structure having a first face and a second face that is parallel to the first face. The phantom further comprises one or more wedges, and a first and second block of material each having a first block face and a second block face parallel thereto. In addition, the phantom further includes an absolute dosimeter arranged at the first block face. A plurality of beads of high density material is located in the first or second block, and a 2D detector is arranged at the second face of the frame structure.
