VAR-Slapping TTPY for a change-

Guess they don't have any ammo for ARAY-

Varian's RapidArc(TM) Radiotherapy Technology Varian CEO Tim Guertin introduced Varian's new RapidArc(TM) radiotherapy*, the company's new VMAT technology that will enable clinicians to deliver highly-conformal treatments much faster than is possible with conventional or helical IMRT (tomotherapy). Guertin said that Varian's goal is "to reduce the amount of time it takes to deliver these treatments -- the best available -- to less than five minutes. Two minutes to set the patient up for treatment, and two to treat -- that's where we're headed," he said. "Faster imaging and faster treatment, with no sacrifice in terms of accuracy or precision, are going to be the cornerstones of effective, affordable cancer care."

*RapidArc is pending FDA 510(k) clearance, and not yet available for sale in the U.S.
