LINKÖPING, Sweden, Feb. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- International
medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT
B) has received an order from Radboud University Medical Center
(Radboudumc) in the Netherlands
for its IT solution for digital pathology. The solution will enable
pathologists to review and collaborate around cases in a way that
is not possible with microscopes. This will increase efficiency in
primary diagnostics, thereby improving cancer care.
"I believe that the qualities of Sectra's pathology solution,
their extensive experience both in pathology and in working with
university hospitals, together with our own world-leading work
within computational pathology research will enable us to improve
efficiency and outcomes in pathology diagnostics and cancer care,"
says Professor Dr Katrien Grünberg,
Head of the Pathology Department at Radboudumc.
Radboudumc handles approximately 250,000 glasses per year, which
will all be digitized with scanners from Sysmex. The digital images
will be stored in a central archive provided by Sectra, enabling
pathologists to access cases whenever and wherever needed. Since
Sectra's pathology solution is vendor-neutral and supports the
DICOM format, Radboudumc will be able to move forward without being
locked into a specific hardware or LIS vendor. Sectra's open
interface will also allow Radboudumc to implement AI-based image
analysis applications from Sectra, their own in-house developed
algorithms or solutions from other vendors, and run these from
Sectra's platform.
"We are excited to have the opportunity to work together with
one of Europe's most prominent
university hospitals. I am confident that this collaboration will
allow us to take our solutions for digital pathology even further
and that, together, we can improve cancer care and patient
outcomes," says Marie Ekström Trägårdh, Executive Vice President
Sectra AB and President Sectra Imaging IT Solutions.
The order was booked during the third quarter of the fiscal
year.
Sectra digital pathology solution
Sectra provides a complete solution for primary diagnostics in
pathology. Sectra's high-end review workstation provides
pathologists with the right environment and tools to perform their
work in a digital system and to reduce the pain-points associated
with time-consuming and labor-intensive manual workflow. Sectra's
digital pathology solution also allows seamless sharing of digital
slides and patient data in multi-hospital environments, enhancing
the workflows around consultations, frozen sections and second
opinions.
The solution is part of Sectra's enterprise imaging solution
that also supports radiology, cardiology, mammography, orthopaedics
and other medical imaging. Since it is built on the same technical
platform, Sectra's solution enables efficient integrated diagnostic
workflows, supporting improved collaboration between radiology and
pathology, two key players in efficient cancer care.
ECR 2019
Sectra's solution for enterprise imaging, including digital
pathology, will be showcased at ECR in Vienna, starting on February 28.
