Radiation therapy firm Varian Medical Systems has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its diagnostic x-ray image processing workstation that combines radiofrequency and digital radiography (DR) capabilities on one platform.
Varian's Nexus DRF digital x-ray imaging system works with a variety of image receptors, including CCD cameras and commercially available flat-panel image detectors, according to the firm. The system allows users to acquire, display, process, transmit, export, or print high-resolution x-ray images; its components include an image detector, a computer, a high-resolution monitor, and Varian's proprietary image processing software.
