LINKÖPING, Sweden, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- International
medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company
Sectra (STO: SECT B) has received an order from Institut
Bergonié for its digital pathology solution. It will be one of the
first digital pathology installations for full-scale primary
diagnostics in France. The
solution will enable pathologists to review and collaborate around
cases in a manner previously not possible using a microscope. It
reduces variation and increases efficiency, thereby improving care
for cancer patients.
"We have been looking for an intuitive solution that will allow
our pathologists to quickly adapt and utilize all the benefits that
come with the technology. It was also important to find a vendor
with solid experience of similar installations. Sectra ticked all
the boxes," says Dr. Gaëtan MacGrogan, Chief Pathologist at
Institut Bergonié.
The Institut Bergonié is a non-profit private hospital and
offers dedicated inpatient and outpatient cancer treatment. It is
part of UNICANCER, which is a national hospital network of 20
French Comprehensive Cancer Centres.
"Institut Bergonié is at the forefront of fighting cancer. It is
now taking yet another important step as one of the first hospitals
in France to adopt a digital
pathology workflow. We are really looking forward to working
together to help Institut Bergonié reach its vision for cancer
care," says Fabien Lozach, Managing
Director of Sectra France.
The solution will be integrated with the laboratory information
system (LIS) at Institut Bergonié. Tight integration between
Sectra's solution and the LIS will provide pathologists with a
complete overview of patient history-in one application-and enable
an efficient workflow based on, for example, sub-specialization and
priority. The solution's vendor-neutral approach also provides
freedom of choice in selecting a scanner vendor.
The five-year contract was signed in December 2020.
Sectra's digital pathology solution
Sectra's digital pathology solution includes digital tools that
enable pathologists to make their diagnoses and carry out reporting
with higher precision and less time spent per case. Using digital
images of tissue samples rather than physical glass slides,
pathologists can access and share current and historical images and
information from anywhere and at any time. Digital access also
facilitates second opinions, external reading resources and
specialist consultations, in addition to enabling integrated
diagnostics. 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 its enterprise imaging
solution. It 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. Read
