Abstract
A phantom for quality monitoring of a medical system, in particular a medical therapy system, or particle therapy system, is described. The phantom has a fixation device for coupling the phantom to a positioning device. In an aspect, a method for quality monitoring in a medical system, in particular a medical therapy system or particle therapy system is described, in which such a phantom is coupled via a fixation device to a positioning device and, with the aid of the positioning device, is brought to a predefined position. In another aspect, a particle therapy system has a treatment chamber, with a positioning device to which a phantom can be coupled so that the phantom can be brought to a predefined spatial position using the positioning device.
