Key Developments in Varian’s Portfolio
- Harnessing Software Power: At the core of Varian’s offerings is ARIA CORE, a management platform designed to integrate every stage of cancer care. It enhances communication between care teams and patients, simplifies workflows, and provides real-time access to critical information. In collaboration with Siemens Healthineers, Varian will also present DirectSetup Notes, a tool that allows radiotherapy staff to document and transfer patient setup data more efficiently during simulations.
