The Sun Nuclear Advantage

Quick and Easy Setup

► Patented user calibration

(Wide Field Calibration)

► USB communication with PC

► Single unit, lightweight designs

► Single cable for power and data

► No warm-up or pre-irradiation required

► Intuitive software for short learning curve

Independent

► Checks and balances using diodes, ion

chambers, EPIDs, and log files

► Independent from delivery and

planning systems

► Measurement, and measurement-

based calculations

► No 100% reliance on calculation-only

patient QA

Data Integrity and Transparency

► Original raw and processed data available

to user

► Data export to spreadsheets

► Independently analyze any

measurement data

► All algorithms documented in online help

The Right Detector for the Right Application

► Sun Nuclear manufactures both diode and ion chamber

detectors and arrays.

► Sun Nuclear’s SunPoint Diode Detectors offer the benefits

of smaller active area, better sensitivity, less drift and

increased lifetime.

► SunPoint Diode Detectors are used for small field/patient-

specific applications due to smaller size and better

performance characteristics for small and modulated fields.

► Ion chambers are used for large field/low-modulation

applications where small size is not necessary.

► Sun Nuclear software also supports EPID, Gafchromic film,

and CR detectors.

Many companies claim to develop innovative products,

but their products are not better or different from any

other product. At Sun Nuclear, innovation has a name. Our

solutions are designed for you and the way you work, not

the other way around. The result? Solutions that look and

perform differently in a way that improves outcomes while

saving you time.

7

ImageProTM – Solution for TG-142

► No need to manually name files, or to identify the machine or tolerance. ImagePro’s advanced

algorithms do the work for you.

► ImagePro is delivered pre-installed on Sun Nuclear’s Integrated Data Device (IDD). Simply

connect the IDD to your network and ImagePro is ready to be used on as many computers as

you wish.

► The ImagePro user interface (or client) does not need to be installed because it relies on a

standard browser. It offers security, flexibility and less overhead for you.

ArcCHECK®

► The ArcCHECK has a patented cylindrical detector geometry that measures beams upon entry

and again upon exit. The detector geometry is consistent for all gantry angles, is highly sensitive

to errors, and enables dose calculation throughout the entire phantom.

► The ArcCHECK has a Virtual Inclinometer to ensure measurement at the correct angle. There are

no additional cables or equipment to attach to the linear accelerator.

► The ArcCHECK geometry allows for a hollow central cavity which can be filled with inserts

holding ion chambers, diodes, and film, and can be arranged in many different configurations.

► Reversing the trend towards ever heavier and awkward-to-use phantoms, ArcCHECK weighs only

16kg and uses only one cable for all power and data needs.

3D SCANNERTM

► The 3D SCANNER uses a patented design that allows consistent in-line, cross-line, and diagonal

scans with no detector setup changes or tank shifts. The system improves data quality and

reduces the risk of error.

► AutoSetupTM automatically and reproducibly sets the detector position at the water surface, and

levels and aligns the tank, eliminating subjectivity.

► Save all scans in a searchable database, and preserve original raw scan data after applying

processing layers to provide more data flexibility and easier inter-comparisons.

Total Solution Partner

TrainingModern radiation oncology techniques are complex, and their safety and effectiveness rely on the proper use of QA tools. Many

groups, including ASTRO and AAPM, recommend that meaningful training solutions be incorporated into routine practices.

Sun Nuclear opened a new customer training center, the

Sun Nuclear Training Center, in 2013. The training center is

a purpose-built training center with its own linear accelerator

and demonstrates Sun Nuclear’s commitment to patient

safety and the effective use of QA tools.

Users can experience in-depth exploration of Sun Nuclear

product functionality on a linac, as well as application-

specific coursework such as IMRT QA, VMAT QA, Annual

QA, and Commissioning. The SNTC offers this training in

an environment that closely mimics an actual clinical setting

because a realistic experience ensures the best possible

training outcome.

Training courses on a variety of subjects are offered year

round and are delivered by Sun Nuclear subject matter

experts and experienced clinical users. Details on upcoming

training courses are posted on the Sun Nuclear

Support website.

I have to say the 3D SCANNER is a step above anything I’ve used in the past. Even with my lack of hands

on experience I was able to meet all of my deadlines and found that the system was exceptionally easy to

pickup and use right out of the box. Sun Nuclear’s trainer was also exceptional and by the end of the first

afternoon I was navigating the software, processing scans and even exporting scans for outside analysis.

The tank setup is by far and away the easiest setup of a scanning tank I have ever used and a testament

to the ground up approach to the engineering of this scanning system. From my experience with 3D

SCANNER, I’ll be a Sun Nuclear tank user for all of my future sites.

The Cylindrical Advantage

Maintains ideal orientation of the detector during in-line, cross-line and diagonal scans Amount of cable being irradiated remains constant during scan, diminishing cable effect More scanning area— up to 65cm in any direction Less volume than traditional tanks with smaller scanning area Less volume means faster fill and drain time No need to shift the tank and risk setup inconsistencies during shifting Water ripples settle faster because of curved walls Circular design makes 3D SCANNER a stronger shape than a traditional tank with 8 seams Better design for acquiring numerous and various diagonal scans as with Cyberknife®

Detector travels the same path for multiple measurement angles, allowing for self diagnostics

AutoSetup™

No more guesswork, highly reproducible setup results; 3D SCANNER setup results from users with no experience compared to 3D SCANNER setup results from experts yield maximum variation of only 0.3mm. Automatically levels tank by sensing water level relative to vertical Z-axis. Automatically aligns ring center to beam axis with motor-driven tank shift +/- 3cm Automatically establishes in-line and cross-line home positions for ring drive using a series of beam measurements Ready to scan in less than 20 minutes
