LINKÖPING, Sweden, June 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- International
medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company
Sectra (STO: SECT B) has signed a digital pathology
contract with Instituto Português de Oncologia de Lisboa (IPO Lisboa). IPO Lisboa is renowned for its cancer care and is
the first hospital in Portugal to
seamlessly include digital pathology in its existing VNA. The
solution allows pathologists to access images from any workstation
within the hospital as well as remotely, and enables integrated
diagnostic workflows—especially important for improving cancer
care.
"Sectra's digital pathology solution gives us access to
already-proven calculation algorithms that will translate into
greater reproducibility of results and have an impact on clinical
decisions," says Dr. José Cabeçadas, Pathology Manager, Instituto
Português de Oncologia de Lisboa.
IPO Lisboa is expanding its
medical imaging IT solution for radiology to also include
pathology. The solution will provide pathologists with instant
access to images and related data, digital tools for reviewing the
images and the ability to collaborate across both departments and
locations.
"The use of a single system for the entire hospital guarantees a
universal availability of resources and the possibility to work
remotely," continues Dr. Cabeçadas. "An immediate additional
benefit is that the solution will provide increased efficiency in
the preparations for multidisciplinary meetings."
Sectra's digital pathology solution
Sectra's digital pathology solution includes digital tools which
enable the pathologists to make their diagnoses and carry out
reporting with higher precision and less time spent per case. It is
a complete, vendor-neutral solution for primary diagnostics that
includes storage solutions and an advanced review workstation.
Sectra's pathology solution is part of Sectra's Enterprise Image
Management (EIM) solution. Sectra's enterprise imaging portfolio

patient outcomes while lowering operational costs. The scalable and
modular solution supports the most image-intense
