Sun Nuclear Model 1176000-0, TomoDose Tomotherapy QA & Dosimetry System

A 224 channel 2-Dimensional diode array with PC software interface. (ASCII data output - PC Software available in summer 2005). Includes: 25 meter power/data cable, USB cable, power supply (110/220 V), calibration fixture.

The TomoDose array was developed specifically for helical Tomotherapy machines. It uses small and rugged detectors for high precision beam measurement, a concept proven with the PROFILER™ and the MapCHECK™. The advantage of the TomoDose is in its unique detector geometry. TomoDose is a 50cm detector array with nine opposing arrays of detectors designed to easily fit into TomoTherapy’s Hi-Art IGRT machine.

The detector layout enables the capture of beam characteristics not possible using other measurement systems designed for traditional LINACs. TomoDose presents it’s users with a fast and accurate method of beam data acquisition without using labor-intensive water tanks and electrometers. TomoDose is self contained and can be setup by a single person in only a few short minutes, and is already in use at several TomoTherapy Hi-Art sites.

Hardware
The TomoDose gathers data using 223 solid state detectors (Overlay) that measure only 0.8mm x 0.8mm. The small detector size allows for very precise dose measurement in areas of steep dose gradient. Detectors are spaced every 5mm along the x-axis, and 4mm or 8mm along the nine y-axes. Data is collected electronically and is available to the user immediately after measurement in the form of a .txt file. The TomoDose also features beam pulse detection, beam time, and detector temperature measurement capability in anticipation of dosimetry needs. Integrated Windows software is also included.
