Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE: VAR), a premier supplier of X-ray tubes and flat panel digital image detectors, will exhibit its full range of detectors at the RSNA Annual Meeting in Chicago, Ill. from November 29 - December 3, 2009. Varian will also be exhibiting X-ray tube technology for multiple modalities as well as specialized cancer treatment technologies.
Varian's exhibit will showcase the latest X-ray technology including:
- A broad array of X-ray tubes with applications for CT scanners, radiographic/fluoroscopic imaging, special procedures and mammography.

- PaxScan radiographic X-ray detectors intended for use in capturing large fields of view, with applications in radiographic tables, wall stands, and mobile imaging systems.
"We've expanded our PaxScan portfolio and added a 43cm x 36cm hand-held portable radiographic panel with enhanced features," said Steve Kimmel, Vice President X-Ray Products Marketing. "The new panel reflects our continued commitment to build comprehensive digital imaging products in response to the medical community's requirements for improved workflow and productivity."

The company's solutions for radiotherapy treatment planning, image guidance, treatment delivery, and information and patient record management will all be on display. This exhibit will include RapidArc® technology, which is now in use at over 270 cancer treatment centers worldwide for delivering radiotherapy and radiosurgery, to treat lung, liver, kidney, spine, and brain cancer more quickly and precisely than was possible with earlier technologies.
