SunBeam Hardware

• 61 precision, high sensitivity diode detectors
• No frequent recalibration necessary
• Active detector area only 0.64mm2, volume only 0.0019mm3
• Real time measurement
• No dose limit
• 7.2 x 7.2 cm measurement range
• Star detector pattern with 4 profiles: X, Y, diagonal

SunBeam Fast Setup

• No warm-up time, setup in 1 minute
• Same 25 meter cable as other Sun Nuclear products
• Connect to computer via USB or serial connection
• CyberKnife users may attach SunBeam to the robot’s “birdcage”, which securely positions the SunBeam at 80cm SDD. Measurements are possible at perch position or any robotic arm position

SunBeam Applications

• Routine (daily/monthly) QA
• Non-routine Beam QA & trouble shooting
• Output, flatness, symmetry and field size
• Comparisons to known standards
• Beam start up conditions

SunBeam Software

• User calibration routine takes only 15 minutes, valid for 1-2 years
• Compare and analyze any combination of X, Y, diagonal profiles
• Save static files or movie (instant segment) files
• Import and compare water tank scans
• Time Plot feature shows Dose Rate and Point Symmetry as a function of time
• Automatic calculation of symmetry, flatness, field size, penumbra and beam center
