Varian Medical Systems will be showcasing its full line of PaxScan X-ray image detectors for filmless imaging at the European Congress of Radiology Annual ( ECR 2010 ) meeting.

Varian Medical Systems, Inc. , X-Ray Products, will be showcasing its full line of PaxScan X-ray image detectors for filmless imaging at the European Congress of Radiology Annual ( ECR 10 ) meeting in Vienna, Austria from March 4 – 8, 2010. Varian will also highlight X-ray tubes for fluoroscopy, angiography, cardiology and cone-beam CT imaging .

"Varian's PaxScan line is the broadest selection of digital X-ray imaging detectors in the industry," said Steve Kimmel, Vice President Marketing for Varian X-Ray Products. "Our dynamic X-ray panels consist of six different sizes ranging from 13cm x 13cm to 40cm x 30cm." Originally developed to enable high-resolution 3-D cone-beam CT imaging in Varian's systems for image-guided radiotherapy, the panels have been incorporated into the emerging cone-beam cross-sectional X-ray imaging market such as the new generation super-surgical C-arms. "Our cone beam CT panels enable a high degree of precision by helping doctors visualize the patient in 3-D images," added Kimmel.

Varian's flat panel digital detector technology incorporates the industry's most proven and widely adopted imaging technology, and sets new standards with its large field of view and its ability to acquire high-resolution images in real time. "Our detectors present a uniform, undistorted, high resolution image throughout the field of view," said Rick Colbeth, Research and Development Engineering Manager for Varian's PaxScan Imaging Products. "They offer significant improvement in image quality, superior contrast resolution and the potential of dose reduction," added Colbeth. "In addition, the PaxScan interface offers integration consistency throughout the product line, allowing our customers who integrate one of our detectors to easily add additional PaxScan products."
