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
