20 Jan 2005 - Varian Medical Systems, Inc., announced that it has acquired Sigma Micro Informatique Conseil, a privately-held company that is the leading supplier of information management software for radiation oncology and medical oncology in cancer clinics and hospitals in France and other European nations. Varian paid approximately $13 million in cash to acquire the company, which is based in Toulouse, France.
The acquisition enables Varian to provide French-speaking and other international clinics and hospitals with information management technology for managing and maintaining electronic health records for cancer patients receiving radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. The Sigma Micro software supports billing in many different reimbursement schemes and works with equipment from multiple vendors, including Varian. It can be purchased, installed, commissioned and serviced over the web, making it a low-cost solution for clinics that are using other software for management of diagnostic and treatment planning images.
