VARIAN MED SYS IN (NYSE:VAR) - Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (VMS), incorporated in 1948, designs and manufactures advanced equipment and software products for treating cancer with radiation, as well as X-ray tubes, replacement X-ray tubes and flat panel digital subsystems for imaging in medical, veterinary, scientific and industrial applications.

Oncology Systems
VMS is a provider of products, such as linear accelerators, treatment simulators and verification products, information management and treatment planning software and other accessory products and services for conventional radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image guided radiation therapy (IGRT). Revenues from the Oncology Systems business segment represented 82% of the Company's total revenues during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 (fiscal 2005).
The Company's Clinac series of medical linear accelerators are used to treat cancer by producing therapeutic electrons and X-ray beams that target tumors and other abnormalities in a patient. VMS produces versions of these devices to suit various facility requirements. The Company's Millennium series of multi-leaf collimators are accessory devices that are used with a linear accelerator to define the size, shape and intensity of the radiation beams generated by the linear accelerator. VMS also offers a real-time patient position monitoring software product, the RPM respiratory gating system, which allows the Clinac to be synchronized with patient breathing to help compensate for tumor motion during the course of treatment.
VMS's VARiS information management software system records and verifies radiotherapy treatment procedures carried out on the linear accelerator, performs patient charting and manages patient information. Its Vision product line is integrated with the VARiS product and manages patient image data. The Company has also developed its VARiS MedOncology information management software system that records and stores patient data relating to chemotherapy treatment procedures. ARIA Oncology Information Management System is VMS' next generation integrated information management software system.
The Company's Eclipse treatment planning system provides doctors with three-dimensional (3D) image viewing, treatment simulation, radiation dosage calculation and verification and other tools for generating treatment plans for the patient, which can be reviewed and analyzed using its SomaVision workstations. VMS' Helios software module utilizes a technique known as inverse planning to enable the physicians to rapidly develop optimal IMRT treatment plans based on a desired radiation dose outcome to the tumor and surrounding tissue. The Company's treatment simulators enable physicians to simulate radiation therapy treatments prior to treatment delivery.
VMS manufactures and sells an electronic portal-imaging product, PortalVision, which is used to verify a patient's treatment position. The Company's Argus line of software products allows the management of quality control data for radiation therapy products. VMS also manufactures and sells Acuity, a simulator, which uses advanced amorphous silicon imaging technology and has been designed to facilitate IMRT treatments by integrating simulation more closely with treatment planning and by helping physicians deal better with tumor motions caused by breathing.
The Company's products have focused on enabling IGRT. These products include On-Board Imager System (OBI), which allows dynamic, real-time imaging of tumors while on the treatment couch, and the cone-beam computerized tomography for OBI, or CBCT. CBCT allows patient positioning based on soft-tissue anatomy. Enhancements to existing products, such as C

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM
WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.
