Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE: VAR), a premier supplier of X-ray tubes and flat panel digital image detectors, will exhibit its PaxScan digital image detectors and its line of X-ray tubes for fluoroscopy, angiography, cardiology and cone-beam CT imaging at the MEDICA 2009 International Trade Fair in Dusseldorf, Germany from November 18-21, 2009.
The Varian Medica booth will exhibit several filmless imaging panels and X-ray tubes including the:
- PaxScan 4336R, a 43cm x 36cm cassette size digital detector, that is the first NEMA size DR panel designed to replace standard film cassettes used in existing radiographic and multi-bucky applications. The panel is also available with a portable hand-held enclosure for use in mobile imaging systems.
- PaxScan 4343R, a 43cm x 43cm detector, which is Varian's largest panel suitable for large field of view radiographic image acquisition. It is designed for permanent mounting in radiographic tables or wall stands.
- MCS-6074 rotating anode X-ray tube for CT scanning, together with a line of replacement X-ray tubes that are available through Varian's Interay after-market sales group. The Interay group offers medical X-ray tubes "on demand" for the service and small OEM markets.
"By having inventory in Europe as well as a responsive technical and marketing team, we are able to provide superior product quality and customer service throughout the European Union," said Stefano Daniotti, European regional manager for Varian X-Ray Products.
