Before and After: Standardizing Physics with the SunCHECK® QA Platform
David Barbee, Ph.D., DABR, Director of Physics Radiation Oncology,
NYU Langone Health

Standardization in Radiation Oncology can lead to improvements in safety, efficiency, quality, consistency and interoperability — while reducing errors and multiple processes. But is it achievable?

The team at NYU Langone Health recently reviewed how their physics processes have evolved as they’ve adopted the SunCHECK Quality Management Platform for Machine and Patient QA. Hear the results they have found by working towards a greater level of standardization.

Currently, ~7,700 sites worldwide use high energy photon accelerators for cancer treatment.* Of those, 2,600 own an ArcCHECK®, with some owning five or more for strong, standardized Patient QA among a department or across a network.

First introduced in 2009, ArcCHECK remains a go-to solution for versatile Patient QA.
In fact, this year at AAPM, 20+ abstracts feature ArcCHECK, including five that use ArcCHECK for Patient QA of the novel RefleXion X1 platform.

Learn why ArcCHECK stands the test of time.

Powerful Patient-Specific QA

  • Recommended by AAPM Task Group 218 for 3D measurement
  • Measures and correlates gantry angle, leaf-end position, absolute dose, and time
  • For all modalities: IMRT, VMAT, SBRT, Tomo, Varian Medical Systems® Halcyon™ System* and MRgRT QA
Clinically Relevant Dose & DVH QA

  • Identify TPS and beam delivery errors
  • 1,386 SunPoint® Diode Detectors for increased BEV data density
  • Angular corrections accurate to ±0.5° using the Virtual Inclinometer™
  • Consistent BEV for all gantry angles measuring entrance and exit dose at multiple depths

Advancements and Optimization of
CT Quality Control
Ken Ruchala, Ph.D., CT Product Manager, Sun Nuclear

Making sure you are using the right test objects for CT scanners has always been a challenge. A test object that extends beyond a scanner’s capability may be excessive, whereas test objects that do not push the limits of clinical images may be insufficient to identify and monitor scanner image quality over time. Join us to review the latest CT Quality Assurance phantoms from Sun Nuclear, a Mirion Medical Company, and learn how to find that balance of optimal test objects versus scanner capabilities.

To meet the increasing needs of delivery systems that track motion or use respiratory gating during treatment, Sun Nuclear is proud to present a new versatile QA Solution – The Enhanced Dynamic Platform.
Key Features of the Enhanced Dynamic Platform:
  • Use any phantom that fits on motion stage up to 70 lbs (50 lbs when ramp is inclined)
  • Easily set up for 1D, 2D or 3D motion QA
  • Index bar locations for 0- and 30-degree rotation setup
  • 11.3° inclined plane provides +/- 5.0 mm (10 mm total) of posterior-anterior motion
  • 30° rotation provides +/- 12.5 mm (25 mm total) of lateral motion
  • Independently controlled surrogate platform simulates posterior-anterior chest wall motion
