General Introduction
Siemens Healthineers and Varian Medical Systems are both active in providing medical solutions to healthcare providers. The transaction involves Siemens acquiring 100% of Varian’s shares, giving rise to conglomerate links between Siemens’ imaging solutions and Varian’s radiotherapy solutions.
Imaging Solutions
Siemens provides imaging solutions, including computed tomography (CT) scanners, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, and positron emission tomography (PET) scanners, which are used for diagnosing and supporting the planning and delivery of oncology treatments.
Radiotherapy Solutions
Varian supplies radiotherapy solutions, including linear accelerators, proton therapy equipment, brachytherapy equipment, motion management devices, and oncology software, which are used to plan and deliver radiotherapy treatments.
Market Definition
The Commission has considered segmenting the market by imaging modality, including CT, MRI, and PETICT scanners, but has left the market definition open due to a lack of competition concerns.
