Varian, a Siemens Healthineers company, announced today that it acquired oncology solutions provider Aspekt Solutions.
Aspekt Solutions provides medical physics, dosimetry and strategy consultation services. The acquisition aims to expand Varian’s advanced oncology solutions (AOS) offerings. Palo Alto, California-based Varian wants to increase the ability to address the rising demand for customized services and standardized care.
Varian provides support for every step of the chance care journey, from screening to survivorship. Its offerings include imaging and radiation therapy, plus software and services and interventional radiology.
Through AOS, Varian offers tailored engagements harnessing technology and combining it with professional support. These support teams collaborate with cancer centers to realize their unique goals. The company says it helps them expand, upgrade or standardize operations while implementing global best practices in cancer care.
Brian Pellegrini, Aspekt Solutions CEO, said the company believes it has more opportunities to empower clinicians and patients as part of Varian. He said they aim to bring together “the best team of physicists, dosimetrists and consultants in the industry.”
“Through our AOS offerings, we’ve been leading the way in melding innovative technology with clinical expertise to help address these challenges,” said Chuck Lindley, VP of AOS at Varian. “With Aspekt Solutions, we can support more oncology centers with a holistic approach to addressing today’s challenges while also preparing for the fast-evolving future of cancer care.”
