New Varian digital radiography devices at CMEF

CHENGDU, CHINA – Varian Medical Systems currently has an exhibit (Booth H3-F06) of X-ray tubes and digital detectors with improved image quality and higher dynamic range at the China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF) in Chengdu, from October 18-21.  Other products featured at the exhibit include technologies for treating cancer with fast, image-guided radiotherapy and radiosurgery.

Varian's X-ray Products business also showcases the PaxScan X digital detector technology, which is Varian's proprietary, state of the art 6th generation architecture. The line features increased frame rates, improved low dose imaging, and 16-bit data acquisition.  The X platform is optimized for high dose efficiency and very low electronic noise.  The result is significantly improved low dose fluoroscopy and dental panoramic imaging. Also on display are dynamic detectors, full field digital mammography detectors, anode-end-grounded (AEG) X-ray tubes, and other X-ray tubes.

Also showcased is the UNIQUE medical linear accelerator (see photo), a single-energy machine for treating cancer with advanced forms of image-guided radiotherapy. The device recently gained clearance from China's State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) in August, 2012. The device can be used to deliver intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and RapidArc treatments that precisely target tumours while minimising exposure of surrounding healthy tissues.
