Varian, a Siemens Healthineers company, has announced a partnership with Sun Nuclear, a division of Mirion Medical, whereby it will sell Sun Nuclear’s SunCHECK platform across its global sales channels, providing expanded QA support for radiation oncology treatments.
“As a leader in radiation oncology, Varian understands that our quality management and quality assurance programs are paramount for providing safe and accurate patient treatments,” said Sasa Mutic, Ph.D., Head of Radiation Oncology Solutions for Varian. “This alliance with Sun Nuclear strengthens our quality assurance offering with a portfolio of industry-leading products.”
Sun Nuclear is a market leader in radiation oncology quality management, with solutions used in more than 6,000 cancer treatment facilities. SunCHECK software is used globally by radiation therapy departments for quality management and delivery system oversight.
The
latest version of SunCHECK (v5.0) features functionality to better connect SunCHECK users and radiation treatment workflows, including advanced treatment plan assessment tools, additional integration with linac treatment planning systems (TPS) and oncology information systems (OIS), broader QA device control, and a refreshed, worklist-based user interface.
“From inception, Sun Nuclear has aimed to ease radiation therapy technology adoption, enhance clinical workflows and help improve treatment outcomes on behalf of our customers,” said Luis Rivera, executive vice president for Mirion Medical, and president of Sun Nuclear. “This alliance with Varian, a leader in the field, is an exciting opportunity to advance these goals; allowing our mutual customers to better integrate the latest technology while maintaining the level of independence critical to patient safety.”
Varian will continue to support its existing QA customers, ensuring uninterrupted consistency and reliability in its offerings. Sun Nuclear’s SunCHECK software will also continue to be available from Sun Nuclear and its authorized distributors.
As part of the agreement, Varian and Sun Nuclear will also enhance the integration of QA software for future radiotherapy offerings.
