Why Diodes?  

Hardware
  • Active Detector area: 0.8 mm x 0.8 mm (0.64mm2) MapCHECK Overlay   SNC Medical Physics
    MapCHECK Overlay
  • Inner Array: 10 x 10 cm array: 7.07 mm diagonal, 1.0cm horizontal/vertical
  • Outer Array: 6 cm wide: 14.14 mm diagonal, 2.0cm horizontal/vertical
  • Axial and Transverse (X,Y) linear array length: 22 cm, 1.0 cm detector spacing
  • Diagonals linear array length: 25.4 cm, 7.07 mm detector spacing
  • User calibrated every 1-2 years using a patented calibration method

Applications

  • Dose plan verification (field by field, composite or rotational/arc)
  • MLC QA; Small detectors identify MLC misalignments as fine as 0.2mm
  • Beam QA (routine flatness, symmetry, output measurements)
  • Gating QA (with MotionSim XY/4D option)
  • Dose based EPID IMRT QA (with EPIDose option)

Setup

  • Easy and quick setup
  • Single power/data cable that is common to other Sun Nuclear instruments
  • Option of using Isocentric Mounting Fixture (IMF™) for measurement at prescription angle
