Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE: VAR), the world's leading manufacturer of medical technology for treating cancer with radiotherapy and radiosurgery, will showcase its technology at two medical events in Asia during the month of March:
- 13th Asian Oceanian Congress of Radiology in Taipei (AOCR), March 20-23
- The 22nd International Medical Instruments & Equipment Exhibition in Beijing (ChinaMed), March 26-28
AOCR
At AOCR, for the first time in Asia, Varian will showcase the company's UNIQUE™ linear accelerator—the world's first low-energy radiotherapy system with image-guidance and RapidArc® treatment capabilities. This system was designed to provide cancer patients with standard radiotherapy treatments as well as advanced techniques, including intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), as well as RapidArc.
"UNIQUE takes the advanced capabilities that were developed for our high-energy platforms, and makes them more widely available to offer higher standards of care for more cancer patients," said Alan Tang, Varian's Far East marketing manager. UNIQUE will be manufactured in Beijing, where the company also provides clinical training, in its Beijing Education Center, for medical professionals who treat cancer.
