Purpose-built for modern treatment modalities, 3D SCANNER™ achieves fast and accurate commissioning and annual QA with consistent scan orientation and automated setup. AutoSetup™, and the elimination of tank shifts, remove scanning subjectivity.
Automate Setup, Remove Subjectivity
3D SCANNER’s AutoSetup automatically sets the detector position at the water surface and levels and aligns the tank in less than 20 minutes. This feature not only saves time, but also ensures tank measurements are reproducible regardless of user.
Eliminate Tank Shifts, Gain Time
Tank shifts take time and compromise the stability of the original scanning setup. Because of its cylindrical shape, 3D SCANNER enables a 65 cm scan range -- allowing full 40 x 40 cm field scans, even at 100 cm SSD and 30 cm depth. Its shape and size remove the need for tank shifts.
Reproducible Setup, Every Time. No User Intervention.
Verified Leveling
With AutoSetup, an on-board sensor finds the water surface at three widely set triangulated points. A motorized platform then performs leveling automatically.
Auto Center & Auto Angle Offset
Field measurements are taken to determine beam center relative to tank center. Then, these centers are auto aligned.
Ideal Orientation for All Scans
The scanning detector is always in the ideal orientation (narrowest dimension perpendicular to the field edge), for crossline, inline and diagonal profiles. This eliminates dose volume averaging and delivers the sharpest possible penumbra.
Off-axis scans can also be achieved by combining rotation and diameter movements during measurement without changing tank setup.
Intuitive Software
SNC Dosimetry™ complements 3D SCANNER with powerful analysis and smart features for enhanced efficiency.
- Queues and projects for organizing and executing groups of scans, and tracking annual QA and commissioning
- Multi-scan comparison tool for 1-click quantitative analysis across data sets
- Searchable database for easy access to data with the ability to share data among users
- Processing layers for insights into each function along the scanning process, and ability to revert to earlier unprocessed data
“I love my Sun Nuclear 3D SCANNER. With the recent software update, including reference point measurement without having to set up a scanning queue, plus the ability to batch compare all of your annual scans to your commissioning scans in less than five minutes, the time savings is huge.”

3D SCANNER supports beam model verification of Varian Medical Systems® Halcyon™ Systems, including Halcyon-specific scan support and enhanced FFF analysis parameters.
Leverage SNC Dosimetry™ pre-configured and customizable queues to create your scanning queues in seconds, rather than days. Selected scans show on-screen analysis, including batch scan comparison for one-click annual reporting.
Compatible Sun Nuclear ion chambers — SNC125c™, SNC600c™, SNC350p™ — are waterproof, fully guarded, meet IEC 60731 standards for reference class dosimeters, and satisfy dosimetry protocols (e.g., AAPM TG-51 and IAEA TRS-398).
