PAXSCAN DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGE DETECTORS

Varian will exhibit its new PaxScan(R) flat panels for digital radiography, together with its full line of detectors for filmless imaging. PaxScan products on display at RSNA:

-- The 4336R, a 14 x 17 inch detector designed to replace standard film cassettes used in radiographic applications, is intended for use in mobile and multi-bucky imaging systems.

-- The 4343R, Varian's largest panel at 17 x 17 inches, is designed for permanent mounting in radiographic tables or wall stands, or for any application that requires a large field of view.

-- The 1313, Varian's smallest panel at 5 x 5 inches, is designed for use in dental and orthopedic imaging and cone-beam CT systems.

Specialized PaxScan panels, originally developed to enable high-resolution 3-D cone-beam CT imaging in Varian's systems for image-guided radiotherapy, have now been incorporated into medical diagnostic imaging systems made by other manufacturers. Varian's PaxScan panels are also used for surgery, angiography, cardiac catheterizetion, gastrointestinal imaging, general radiography, dental imaging, and veterinary medicine, as well as in industrial systems for non-destructive testing.
