Leading cancer treatment centres are expanding their radiotherapy facilities with equipment from Varian Medical Systems.
Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, and Linköping University Hospital in the south east of Sweden, are both embarking on major expansions to improve patient care and reduce waiting times in their healthcare regions by acquiring several new linear accelerators equipped with On-Board Imager accessories.
Sahlgrenska Hospital is acquiring three new Clinac linear accelerators, two of which are equipped with On-Board Imager accessories, and will be expanding its existing VARiSVision information management and Eclipse treatment planning networks. Linköping Hospital is acquiring two new Clinac accelerators with On-Board Imager devices and an Acuity simulator, as well as upgrading its VARiSVision network to Varian’s latest ARIA system.
“Both these oncology centres are known for putting pioneering medical technologies into routine clinical use for the benefit of patients and Varian is delighted to be a part of this leadership in IGRT,” says Walter Frei, head of Varian’s oncology systems business in Europe.
