PALO ALTO, Calif., May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Varian, a
Siemens Healthineers company, will showcase its ongoing
commitment to embracing innovation and enhancing outcomes for
cancer care teams and their patients at this year's 2024
European Society for Radiation Oncology (ESTRO) annual meeting,
which will take place from May 3 to 7
in Glasgow, Scotland.
With over 24 million new cancer cases expected by 2030,
accessible, high-quality cancer treatment is crucial to improving
patient outcomes1. Radiotherapy is an integral part of
therapeutic treatments for approximately 50% of the patients
diagnosed with cancer, yet many countries have inadequate
availability of radiotherapy treatment2. Varian is
working in collaboration with healthcare providers to change that
statistic by creating innovative and integrated solutions to help
bring treatment options to those communities who need it most.
"As part of Siemens Healthineers, Varian is in a unique position
to develop cutting-edge products and solutions that bridge the care
gap globally," remarked Arthur
Kaindl, Head of Varian. "By combining the expertise of the
leading imaging and radiotherapy companies, we have the ability to
achieve much more than any individual cancer care company by
driving connection throughout the entire care continuum."
At the ESTRO meeting, Varian will present a range of solutions
that will enhance the care continuum, including:
- HyperSight imaging solution is now available as an
optional feature on Ethos, Halcyon, Edge, and TrueBeam radiotherapy
platforms. Delivering a revolution in resolution, HyperSight
imaging offers superior image quality, enhanced contrast, and
faster image acquisition compared to conventional Varian
linear-accelerator-based imaging systems.
- ARIA CORE, Varian's next-generation oncology
management solution, is designed to integrate oncology workflows
across cancer care disciplines. ARIA CORE aims to provide care
teams with actionable analytics and holistic patient insights for
more personalized care and treatment.
- DirectSetup Notes is a new, advanced tool enabled
with syngo CT VB10 on Siemens Healthineers CT simulators SOMATOM
go.Sim and SOMATOM go.Open Pro. DirectSetup Notes enables RT staff
to document patient setup information during simulation directly on
the CT scanner's tablet, allowing RT staff to spend more time with
their patients. It then transfers all recorded information directly
to ARIA CORE or other oncology information systems for future
reference and analysis.
- MAGNETOM Free.Max RT Edition is the latest addition
to the Siemens Healthineers Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging
portfolio for personalized radiation therapy. This new MR system
allows users to experience a new level of anatomical detail,
increased flexibility, and unconventional affordability due to its
lower total cost of ownership than traditional MR systems.
- The latest version of the IDENTIFY patient motion
management system provides users with upgrades designed to
optimize performance, increase workflow efficiency, and integrate
with treatment delivery, including surface-guided radiotherapy. The
IDENTIFY system aims to provide fast, highly precise motion
management during the delivery of a wide range of treatments and
techniques.
Varian is committed to generating evidence that can help improve
patient outcomes and expand access to care. This commitment is
evident through its efforts to elevate the standard of care, which
will be showcased at ESTRO through numerous oral, panel, customer
use cases, and poster presentations. These presentations, which
include products such as Ethos and HyperSight imaging, will
contribute to the growing body of clinical evidence and data across
various treatment domains, further reinforcing Varian's dedication
to enhancing patient care.
