“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, PhD, 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.

“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 for 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.”

As an integral part of Siemens Healthineers, Varian is dedicated to pioneering innovative solutions that not only advance radiotherapy, but also integrate both its imaging and therapy solutions into a cohesive ecosystem. For over 75 years, Varian’s aim has been to drive breakthroughs that elevate standards and transform patient care, which relies on the highest level of quality.

“We are continually evaluating our business, resources, and strategies to maximize the value Varian delivers to our customers and their patients,” Mutic said. “With its broad range of products and a commitment to product innovation and patient safety, Sun Nuclear is ideal to strengthen Varian’s QA offerings. This alliance enables Varian to expand our comprehensive quality assurance offerings, further reinforcing our commitment to excellence in patient care and 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.
