Engineers at Varian Medical have crafted a radiation oncology management system designed to simplify and facilitate delivery of advanced radiation therapy for treating cancer. The product, called Inspiration, was the focus of the company's exhibit Oct. 19 at the ASTRO annual meeting. Inspiration links all clinical activities, from imaging to planning, simulating, verifying, and delivering treatments. It is based on a unified database and information management system to which all devices and processes are tied.
Varian also displayed a redesigned version of its VARiS Vision radiation oncology management software. Enhancements streamline and accelerate processes involved in treating cancer with radiation therapy. The software simplifies the many steps involved in delivering a multiweek course of radiation therapy, including treatment planning, simulation, and scheduling.
Amid the technology and glitz of ASTRO, Varian executives heaped good financial news on shareholders, announcing their expectation that earnings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 would rise by 26% to 27% over the year-earlier period. Net orders were expected to be 10% higher.

July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
