"As Europe's largest application-oriented research organization, we undertake projects in the areas of health, security, communication, new materials, energy, and the environment, with the goal of making a significant impact on people's lives," said Prof. Dr. Dieter Praetzel-Wolters, director of Fraunhofer ITWM and head of Fraunhofer's Scientific and Technical Council. "We at Fraunhofer are proud to partner with Varian Medical Systems, one of the most successful global players in medical technology."
"The addition of MCO to Eclipse, alongside innovative tools like RapidPlan™ knowledge-based treatment planning will be yet another important step forward in keeping with Varian's ongoing commitment to offering, and continually enhancing, our treatment planning solution to fully empower users so that they can create the best possible plans for their patients," said Zankowski. "We look forward to developing many more tools designed to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of care."
