Varian Medical Systems Introduces New TrueBeam™ System for Image-Guided Radiotherapy and Radiosurgery to Clinicians in Asia at AOCMP in Taipei, Taiwan

October 14, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

TAIPEI, Taiwan, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ — Varian Medical Systems,
Inc. (NYSE:
VAR
), the world’s leading manufacturer of medical technology
for treating cancer with radiotherapy and radiosurgery, is
introducing its new TrueBeam™ medical linear accelerator for
the first time to clinicians in Asia at the 10th annual meeting of
the Asia-Oceania Congress of Medical Physics (AOCMP) taking place
in Taipei, Taiwan, October 15-17.

The TrueBeam system, which was designed from the ground up to
treat a moving target with unprecedented speed and accuracy,
features a multitude of technical innovations to dynamically
synchronize imaging, patient positioning, motion management, and
treatment delivery. With its High Intensity Mode, TrueBeam can
deliver doses at up to 2400 monitor units per minute, more than
twice as fast as any other machine for either radiotherapy or
radiosurgery.

Joseph Ting, PhD, chief medical physicist at the MIMA Cancer
Center in Melbourne, Florida, will make a presentation about the
TrueBeam system in a “New Technology Symposium” on Saturday,
October 16 as part of the meeting’s scientific program.  The
MIMA Cancer Center was among the first cancer treatment centers in
the U.S. to treat patients using a TrueBeam system.  Dr.
Ting’s talk will focus on the TrueBeam system’s High Intensity
Mode, which significantly reduces treatment time, making some
treatments feasible that weren’t possible before.

“Varian is committed to investing in Asia, and working with
clinicians to meet the needs of cancer patients throughout the
region,” said Thomas P. Duffy, Varian’s vice president of sales and
marketing for the Asia Pacific region.  “Our new TrueBeam
offering, optimized for complex radiosurgical treatments,
complements the UNIQUE™ linear accelerator we introduced in
Asia earlier this year, the world’s first single-energy
radiotherapy system wi
