Varian Medical Systems to Exhibit the Latest Digital Image Detectors, X-Ray Tubes and Cancer Treatment Technologies at the CMEF Show in Shenzhen, China

SALT LAKE CITY, April 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Booth #H1/E32 —
Varian Medical Systems (NYSE:
VAR) will exhibit a wide selection of X-ray tubes and flat
panel image detectors for digital radiography (DR) at the China
International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF) meeting in Shenzhen,
China, April 16-18, 2011.  Varian will also demonstrate new
technology for treating cancer with radiotherapy and
radiosurgery.

Varian’s exhibit will showcase:

• PaxScan® dynamic X-ray image detectors designed for use in
  cardiology, angiography, cone-beam CT, surgical C-arms, and
  image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). Dynamic panels will include:
  • The new PaxScan® 3024M flat-panel detector for full-field
    digital mammography based on Varian’s amorphous silicon (a-Si)
    technology. This innovative direct capture panel has a compact
    design, incorporating a narrow edge enabling radiologists to
    acquire images close to the chest wall with results in seconds. The
    3024M robust panel promises to extend the capabilities of digital
    mammography into markets where its environmental stability makes it
    an attractive option over less reliable technologies.  
  • The PaxScan 1313, a 13cm x 13cm detector, with high-speed
    electronics capable of processing 30 frames per second suitable for
    use in dental computed tomography (CT).
  • The PaxScan 3030+, a 30cm x 30cm multi-modality detector with
    fluoroscopic capabilities, for surgical, interventional, and cone
    beam CT medical imaging applications.
• PaxScan® radiographic X-ray image detectors intended for
  use in capturing large fields of view:  
  • The PaxScan® 4343R, a 43cm x 43cm detector designed for
    permanent mounting in radiographic tables or wall stands.
     
  • The PaxScan® 4336R,
