    This document describes the acceptance testing of an automated scanning water phantom used for quality assurance of radiation therapy beams. The authors developed methods for automatically scanning ionization chambers through water to measure beam parameters. Tests evaluated the phantom's reproducibility, accuracy, stability, and ability to automatically acquire beam data for quality control. The automated scanning phantom provides an efficient means of performing regular quality assurance tests on radiation therapy treatment beams.
