Varex Imaging is launching a new development chain package for CT and featuring its x-ray tubes, digital detectors, and software at ECR 2018 in Vienna.
The Varex Power Chain helps CT developers improve the total cost of device ownership, shorten development times, simplify the supply chain, and provide high levels of system integration and support, according to the company.
Varex is also highlighting its line of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and amorphous silicon-based digital detectors for x-ray, mammography, and fluoroscopy and also showcasing a range of x-ray tubes, including anode-end-grounded CT tubes, dual-ended CT tubes, mammography tubes for 3D and high-throughput applications and 2D imaging, and replacement CT tubes.
Finally, Varex is featuring its suite of manual and automated collimators for fixed and mobile systems, its Nexus DR digital image acquisition system, its Veolity lung screening workstation for CT, and its MeVis Online Academy online educational modules.
![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
