Beam Commissioning

Commissioning and beam scanning are fundamental to building a strong radiation therapy program. Sun Nuclear™ dosimetry solutions offer speed, accuracy and ease of use for every clinical user.

Faster, easier, hyper-accurate dosimetry.

Building on the legacy Sun Nuclear cylindrical water tank, the SunSCAN™ 3D cylindrical water scanning system is designed to unlock efficiencies in beam commissioning and annual QA, with hyper-accuracy for the growing demands of stereotactic radiation therapy programs.

Here's how:

Faster and easier workflows for medical physicists tasked with beam commissioning and annual machine QA

Hyper-accurate dosimetry for the growing demands of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)
Consistent detector orientation ensures the smallest part of the detector always measures the beam edge, minimizing stem and cable effects and water movement

Quick Setup, Intuitive Software

Manual water tank preparation can be time-consuming and require special expertise. With the SunSCAN 3D tank’s AutoSetup™ routine, it takes approximately seven minutes to provide a truly levelled water tank. Plus, setting up the tank, collecting scan data, and storing and comparing scans is made easy with SunDOSE™ Software.

Proven Reference Ion Chambers

SNC125c™, SNC350p™, and SNC600c™ — Sun Nuclear reference class ionization chambers — are optimal tools for scanning, field, and reference dosimetry measurements. Properly QA your linac, in accordance with the reference class and dosimetry protocols of IEC 60731, AAPM TG-51, IAEA TRS-398 and DIN 6800-2.

Versatile Dosimetry Investigation and Verification

ATOM^® Phantoms are uniquely designed for investigation of organ doses and whole body effective doses, as well as the verification of therapeutic radiation doses.
