EDGE Detector
EDGE™
Detector is an all new detector suitable for in-water and out-of-water small field dosimetry. The Edge Detector was designed to eliminate the dose volume averaging problem associated with ion chambers for small field and high dose gradient dosimetry. Ideal applications are all types of beam scanning for field sizes smaller than 20×20 cm2
Features
- Highly accurate beam modeling of fields up to 20x20cm
- No Dose Volume Averaging (unlike ion chambers)
- Does not distort the true beam penumbra
- No misrepresentation of the delivered penumbra
Diode vs. Ion Chamber – The importance of detector size
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
