Radiation therapy developer Varian Medical Systems of Palo Alto, CA, has installed its intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) machine at an Estonian hospital, the company announced.
North Estonia Regional Hospital has acquired Varian's Clinac DHX, which is equipped with a Millennium 120-leaf collimator, allowing for more conformal radiotherapy treatment.
The new device was funded by the hospital with support from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which provided additional financing and helped to train staff in the use of the equipment, and the Environmental Investment Centre, which helped to decommission an older Cobalt-based treatment unit and refurbish the bunker for the new accelerator, Varian said.
