SALT LAKE CITY, March 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — ECR Booth
#313/Expo C – Varian Medical Systems, Inc., X-Ray Products, will be
showcasing a comprehensive imaging portfolio of PaxScan®
digital image detectors and X-ray tubes for fluoroscopy,
angiography, cardiology and cone-beam CT imaging at the European
Congress of Radiology (ECR) annual meeting in Vienna, Austria
this week.
“Our exhibit reflects our commitment to the industry’s demands
for technically advanced X-ray tube and flat panel solutions,” said
Steve Kimmel, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Varian
X-Ray Products. “The new panel and tube platforms offer a
path to improve image quality, greater cost efficiency, and
potential for increased patient throughput.”
The products to be highlighted at ECR are:
The new M-1500, Varian’s first X-ray tube developed specifically
for advanced mammography applications such as tomosynthesis and CT.
The M-1500 provides exceptional performance in a space
efficient design. “This revolutionary design provides for
high throughput and performance in specialized mammography
applications,” said Dennis Runnoe, vice president of Research and
Development Engineering. The new PaxPower FP X-ray tube which is
optimized for interventional procedures and portable surgical CT
systems. The new PaxPower FP tube platforms were developed
with a smaller footprint and higher power. “This new technology
represents a new generation of diagnostic tubes incorporating much
of what we have learned over years of anode-grounded CT
development. This new tube technology provides a dramatically
smaller and lighter package with higher heat dissipation allowing
for higher patient throughput,” said Kimmel. The new PaxScan®
3024M flat panel detector designed for full field digital
mammography. The compact design, incorporating a narrow edge
and rapid image-acquisition capabilities, enables radiologists to
