RIYADH, Saudi Arabia,
April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Varian, a Siemens Healthineers Company, announces its
collaboration with BaraSeen Medical Company to introduce the first
Halcyon system in Saudi Arabia -
with its hallmark sustainability features - at BaraSeen's initial
specialized standalone Batik-X radiation therapy center in
Riyadh. This collaboration marks a
significant milestone in expanding access to high-quality treatment
while driving sustainability and healthcare excellence.
The Halcyon system is renowned for its innovative and efficient
radiation therapy system with a human-centered design that enables
care providers to deliver precise, image-guided treatment. The
Halcyon system can streamline the cancer treatment process with
integrated imaging, ease of use, and fast treatment times. Designed
to improve operational efficiency, the Halcyon system uses a
smaller footprint and self-shielded design to reduce the vault and
concrete requirements, reduces power consumption compared to
traditional linear accelerators, and offers accelerated
installation and machine commissioning.
"We have chosen Halcyon for our medical center because it offers
a streamlined workflow, making treatment faster and more efficient.
Additionally, its unique design creates a spacious and comfortable
treatment environment, while precision targeting minimizes exposure
to healthy tissues, helping to lead to improved outcomes" stated Dr
Hossam Alassaf, Chief Executive
Officer, emphasizing that "the system's versatility accommodates
diverse patient needs. We believe that Halcyon will greatly enhance
our capabilities and patient care".
At Varian, we are pushing the boundaries of innovation to shape
the future of cancer care in a sustainable way. With the Halcyon
system, healthcare providers can offer cutting edge treatment
capabilities and improve the patient's treatment experience while
delivering sustainable performance combining advanced usability,
higher energy efficiency, and patient throughput.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with BaraSeen Medical to bring
advanced cancer treatment capabilities to Saudi Arabia," said Laurent Amiel, President, Radiation Oncology
Solutions for Europe, Middle East, and Africa at Varian. "This collaboration
represents a significant step forward in our mission to expand
global access to high-quality care sustainably. We are honored by
the trust placed in Varian's technology, and confident that
installing Halcyon at the BaTik-X center will greatly benefit
patients in the region."
By leveraging the power of Halcyon, Varian and the BaTik-X
center are not only transforming cancer treatment but also paving
the way for a more sustainable future in healthcare.
