STARCHECK

High-Resolution Array Detectors for Fast, Comprehensive Linac QA

STARCHECK is a precise and reliable tool for fast, comprehensive measurements in radiation therapy beams as required by standard guidelines, e.g., AAPM TG-142. Typical applications are quality control and linac beam adjustment measurements with the detector panel embedded in a solid-state phantom. The ionization chambers feature excellent relative response stability, eliminating the need for frequent recalibration. A full set of four profiles is measured in real-time, making STARCHECK useful for start-up behavior checks of the linac. Additional detectors distributed along the array’s side axis enable accurate checks of MLC leaf positions. An MR-compatible version is awailable for MRgRT QA mesurements.
