Date:9/22/2008

se entitled Noninvasive Radiosurgery with Novalis Tx(TM) Platform Rolling Out Worldwide).

-- The On-Board Imager(R) kV imaging device for image-guided radiotherapy, enhanced to generate higher-quality images at lower X-ray doses and to enable acquisition of a 40-second half-scan cone-beam CT image.

-- The OncQT(TM) data analysis software tool, developed with colleagues at the Alberta Cancer Board of Canada, for analyzing electronic information in patients' medical records and generating reports about treatment protocols and outcomes. "In addition to improving the quality of cancer care, quantitative data analysis has tremendous implications for cost control in healthcare," said Corey Zankowski, senior director for oncology product management at Varian. "Unproductive medical care is expensive. Evidence based clinical decision making has the potential to improve outcomes and reduce costs."

-- Equicare CS(TM) case management software, a program from Cogent Health Solutions that links with Varian's ARIA(TM) oncology information system to help doctors provide cancer survivors with proactive follow-up care. The Equicare case management system is a web-based tool that generates a care plan based on best practices, creates a dynamic link between patients, clinicians, and caregivers, and helps survivors achieve better clinical compliance, improved outcomes, and a better quality of life following cancer treatment.

A "Future Developments" Exhibit

In a "future developments" area of the exhibit, Varian is showcasing several works-in-progress that are not available for sale in the U.S. The exhibit features:

-- An architecture for a new Oncology PACS (picture archiving and communication system) for long-term image management and storage. In development by Varian researchers in partnership with Xstor Medical Systems, Varian's Oncology PACs is being designed to furnish oncology departments with a scalable, integrated image storage solution w
