LINKÖPING, Sweden, March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity
company Sectra (STO: SECT B) has signed a contract with
Dalarna County Council in Sweden
for digital pathology. Dalarna County Council is already using
Sectra's solution for breast imaging. The two departments work
particularly closely together in cancer care. Working within the
same system will allow for convenient sharing of images and
information, enabling efficient integrated diagnostics and
patient-centric care.
"By digitizing pathology, we will enable a closer collaboration
between pathologists as well as with other departments, thereby
increasing efficiency in cancer care," says Tibor Tot, operation
manager for laboratory medicine at Dalarna County Council. "For
example, it will make the preparation of multidisciplinary team
meetings easier as well as the actual meetings. In addition,
Sectra's vendor-neutral solution lets us use different scanners
from various vendors depending on which is most suitable for a
certain type of pathology image. This will be very important for us
moving forward."
The contract also comprises Sectra's solution for sharing
pathology images and collaborating with others. Pathologists at
Dalarna County Council will be able to share images and collaborate
with pathologists working from elsewhere, both in and outside the
country. It provides efficient use of resources and an ability to
easily discuss cases with subspecialized pathologists.
Sectra digital pathology
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. The
pathology solution is built on the same platform as Sectra's
solution for handling radiology images (Sectra PACS). This enables
in-depth collaboration and easier sharing of medical images and
patient information between radiologists and pathologists as
well as with other medical disciplines involved in cancer care—so
called integrated diagnostics. In addition, using a common platform
leads to reduced maintenance and operating costs. Sectra offers a
complete, vendor-neutral solution for primary diagnostics that
includes storage solutions and an advanced review workstation. In
the US, digital pathology for primary diagnostics is still pending
FDA approval.
