LINKÖPING, Sweden and
SHELTON, Connecticut, Jan. 16,
2018 /PRNewswire/ --
International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company
Sectra (STO: SECT B) announces that Hospital for Special Surgery
(HSS), one of the most renowned orthopaedic hospitals in the US,
has ordered Sectra's 3D pre-operative planning solution. The
software will provide HSS orthopaedic surgeons with advanced tools
to enhance visualization of complex cases with the goal of
improving patient outcomes.
"Sectra's innovative 3D solutions will enable us to make full
use of the acquired images, resulting in cutting edge delivery of
care to our orthopaedic patients," says William M. Ricci, MD, Chief of Orthopaedic
Trauma Service at HSS. "This 3D platform will improve the quality
of pre-operative planning with potential for improved surgical
outcomes."
The 3D pre-operative planning solution includes tools that allow
the surgeon to render standard CT images into a three-dimensional
interactive image that can be segmented, manipulated, mirrored,
templated and 3D printed. The software will integrate with the
existing Sectra radiology PACS at HSS to enable surgeons immediate
access from anywhere in the hospital.
"This agreement adds software tools for advanced 3D virtual
fracture reduction and trauma planning as well as efficient tools
for 3D spine planning into the hands of all surgeons at HSS," says
Gustaf Schwang, General Manager
Business Unit Orthopaedics at Sectra. "It also includes
collaborative development of software, intended to deepen both
companies' leadership position in our respective markets."
