LINKÖPING, Sweden, Oct. 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- International medical imaging
IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT B) has
signed an enterprise imaging contract with Belgium's largest university hospital, UZ
Leuven. The healthcare provider will utilize the module for digital
pathology, providing pathologists with a digital solution designed
for full-scale primary diagnostics. This will save valuable time
for both clinicians and patients, further enhancing cancer
care.
"We have been using digital pathology in a limited capacity for
multiple years. As we now take the step to go fully digital for
primary diagnostics, we want to ensure to have a solution that both
provides pathologists with a state-of-the-art application and gives
us the freedom to optimize our choice of related software and
scanners," says Prof. Dr. Thomas Tousseyn, hematopathologist at UZ
Leuven.
UZ Leuven is a leading academic hospital located in Leuven,
Belgium, and is one of the largest
healthcare providers in the region. It was top-ranked by Newsweek
as the best hospital in Belgium
and among the top 50 in the world. The 10-year contract for
Sectra's digital pathology solution was signed in the second
quarter of Sectra's 2024/2025 fiscal year.
"Healthcare providers, especially the larger university
hospitals, have gathered experiences from their own or others'
implementations of digital pathology. The value of vendor
neutrality when it comes to choosing scanners is becoming clear in
many of these projects. Sectra has a track record of both promoting
and enabling open integrations and of supporting large-scale
primary diagnostic workflows. I look forward to utilizing that
know-how to support UZ Leuven as they take their next steps for
improved patient care," says Bart
Thielen, Managing Director, Sectra Benelux.
The pathology solution is part of Sectra's enterprise imaging
solution, which provides a unified strategy for all imaging needs
while lowering operational costs. The scalable and modular
solution, with a VNA at its core, allows healthcare providers to
grow from ology to ology and from enterprise to enterprise. Visit
