Machine QA Solutions
DosimetryCommissioning and beam scanning are fundamental to building a strong radiation therapy program. That’s why we significantly enhanced our pioneering cylindrical tank design for greater clinical confidence and workflow efficiency.
SunSCAN™ 3D simplifies beam scanning with SRS-class accuracy and user-centered design.
Made for Every Clinical User
Conventional linac, SRS linac or bore-based. Commissioning novice or experienced clinician. SunSCAN 3D makes commissioning and annuals easier and more efficient than ever before — with SRS-class scanning accuracy and compatibility with nearly every machine and user.
Hyper-Accurate SRS Scanning
The SunSCAN 3D system is specifically designed to meet the accuracy demands of stereotactic treatment deliveries, including novel features that also streamline this important data collection. See the video below for an overview.
Simplified Beam Scanning
From your Trusted End-to-End Quality Management Provider
SunSCAN 3D standardizes water tank setup with automation and mitigates the need for tank shifts.
- Unique Cylindrical Shape - removes need for tank shifts, which take time and compromise scanning setup
- Single Setup - 65 cm scan range allows 40 x 40 cm field scans, even at 100 cm SSD and 40 cm depth
- Consistent Detector Orientation - smallest part of the detector always measures the beam edge, minimizing stem and cable effects and water movement
Enhanced SRS & SBRT Accuracy
Meeting the Demands of Stereotactic Programs
SunSCAN 3D's enhanced electronic resolution improves Signal to Noise Ratio by as much as a factor of 2, and an enhanced Median Filter provides glassy smooth scans while maintaining data integrity.
Hyper accurate scanning, verified with a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), delivers:
- 0.1 mm accuracy throughout the tank,
- 0.05 mm reproducibility, and
- 0.02 mm resolution.

Ready to Scan in 15 Minutes
Fast & Easy Setup
Set up your water tank in a third of the time it takes with other tanks.
- Simply roll the tank in place
- Starting the filling process (~7 minutes), and
- Run the faster, more accurate AutoSetup™ routine (~7 minutes)
True leveling is achieved through a proven automatic leveling routine, perfected and optimized over 10+ years. A physically level tank makes leveling confirmation and QA easy.
Consistent Detector Orientation
Better Results
Congratulations to the team at Radiation Oncology in the Vosspalais, Berlin — the first site in Germany to install the SunSCAN 3D. The SunSCAN 3D has received CE mark and can now be implemented worldwide. Where will the SunSCAN 3D go next?
"With SunSCAN 3D, in form and function, it’s clear Sun Nuclear put thought into every detail to help medical physics teams work smartly. It’s easy to set up, fill and drain. Plus, it’s light and compact for moving and storing. Above all, it offers high accuracy for confidence in your commissioning and annuals."

Intuitive SunDOSE™ Software
Setting up the tank, collecting scan data, and storing and comparing scans is made easy with the SunDOSE Software. An intuitive interface with reduced clicks makes completing commissioning easier than ever.
Make significant efficiency gains to your commissioning process.
Control Center with Integrated Electrometer
Electrometer includes dual bias control, compatible with most detectors available, and improved Signal to Noise Ratio for superior small signal measurements. Enhanced Dynamic Mode automatically adjusts to the signal - no need to set the gain.
Always Connected, Always Available Pendant
Two interchangeable pendants on the tank and reservoir simplify workflow, and firmware ensures constant connection inside the treatment room. Buttons and backlighting make controlling the tank easy with wet hands and in darkly lit rooms, and an interlock prevents accidental irradiation.
Dripless, Easy-to-Control Reservoir
Newly redesigned with half the footprint, the SunSCAN Reservoir includes a dripless connector to the tank and a self-enclosed hose to avoid spills. Water filter and pendant are included.
SunSCAN™ TPR
Less than 5-minute installation with no additional tools — supports Varian Medical Systems®, Elekta, Siemens and CyberKnife® delivery systems
Mini-Lift Table (MLT)
Integrated Automatic Leveling Platform levels to within 0.02 degrees, centers to within 0.1 mm, and straddles the linac couch ring for stability. The Mini-Lift legs fold tight to the frame and the handle retracts for compact storage.
Easy Storage & Portability
Assembly is easy, with only a two-person lift required for any of the parts. Designed with a small footprint, the SunSCAN 3D tank plus water reservoir can be transported as needed in a small SUV or van.
Compatability & Accessories
Conventional linac, SRS linac or bore-based, SunSCAN 3D works with nearly every type of linac*. Combine it with your preferred detectors and ion chambers for comprehensive dosimetry.
SunDOSE software
New, intuitive SunDOSE software reduces clicks to complete commissioning, and features favorite and enhanced workflow features
Easy Setup, 24/7 support
Only a single cable connection is needed from the treatment room for setup. SunSCAN 3D support is available during regular business hours, as well as emergency after hours support from a service team with nearly 40 years of service in the field.
*Verify compatibility of the SunSCAN 3D with delivery system before use.
