In partnering with Sun Nuclear, the NSCC will support development of best 
practices for clinical use, advise on ongoing platform development, and serve 
as a regional resource for a rapidly-growing community of SunCHECK users. The 
NSCC is an integrated cancer care network, provided by the Northern Sydney 
Local Health District (NSLHD). As a public facility with university 
affiliations, the NSCC is actively involved in cancer research and dedicated to 
improving outcomes for patients and their families. The center treats more than 
1,400 patients annually, using three Varian Medical Systems(R) linear 
accelerators and a robust auto-planning program. The NSCC also uses an Elekta 
brachytherapy system. 

Jeremy Booth, Head of Medical Physics for the NSCC, stated that the center is a 
pioneer in advanced treatments, initiating its IMRT program in 2001 and its 
SBRT program in 2007. Today, the NSCC remains focused on continually 
investigating the feasibility of technological changes, including motion 
management.   

"As a busy clinic with an active research program, we need an efficient, proven 
quality assurance mechanism," said Booth. "SunCHECK provides the comprehensive 
functionality and departmental integration we were looking for and offers the 
efficiency our workload demands."  

The SunCHECK Platform automates and integrates Quality Management, enabling 
Radiation Therapy departments to standardize Patient and Machine Quality 
Assurance (QA) workflows among staff, machines, and locations. A secure, 
browser-based network architecture connects multiple systems and can support 
different geographic locations, offering a top-down view through a single 
dashboard, supported by a single database.

SunCHECK(TM) Patient software incorporates Plan Checks, Secondary Calculations, 
Pre-Treatment QA and In-Vivo Monitoring all in a single workflow. SunCHECK(TM) 
Machine software integrates all Machine QA needs, including Daily, Monthly, and 
Annual QA; automated imaging, MLC and VMAT QA; and data trending. Plus, device 
integration with the Daily QA(TM) 3, IC PROFILER(TM) and ArcCHECK(R) arrays 
enables further automation and centralization of data.

Additional SunCHECK Platform reference sites include: St. George's Cancer Care 
Centre (Christchurch, New Zealand), Sterling Hospitals Group (Ahmadabad, 
India), Iridium Kankernetwerk (Antwerp, Belgium), Sant Pau (Barcelona, Spain), 
ONCORAD (Toulouse, France), The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre (Liverpool, UK), 
I.R.C.C.S di Candiolo (Candiolo, Italy), UF Health Cancer Center at Orlando 
Health (Florida, U.S.), and Mosaic Life Care (Missouri, U.S.).
