EDGE™ Detector delivers flatter profiles, sharper resolution, and the real beam picture for treatment planning. Compared to ion chambers, EDGE Detector gives approximately 100 times more signal even though it is over 6000 times smaller in volume. Additionally, the EDGE Detector offers the same accuracy for PDD curves, with better accuracy in critical flatness and penumbra measurements.

  Why Diodes?
Features

  • Accurate beam modeling
  • Ideal for steep dose gradients
  • Provides true beam penumbra and flatness
  • Models up to a 20 x 20cm field No dose volume averaging
  • Small size = more precise, accurate modeling

Diodes - Reliability you can count on

  • EDGE Detector utilizes Sun Nuclear’s advanced diode technology, the same used in clinically proven solutions such as PROFILER 2™ , MapCHECK™, and other Sun Nuclear instruments
  • Nominal changes in sensitivity are only 0.5% per 1 kGy for a 6MV radiotherapy beam

EDGE Detector applications

  • IMRT
  • SRS
  • SBRT
  • Small field beam scanning
