Varian secures Japanese clearance for Halcyon

Varian Medical Systems has received clearance from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare to market its Halcyon cancer treatment system in Japan.

Halcyon simplifies image-guided volumetric intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), according to Varian. It is twice as quiet as other systems and has a low couch height for easy patient access. It also features a 100-cm gantry opening and is capable of rotations four times faster than C-arm gantries for rapid imaging and treatment, the company said.
