Digital image management developer Sectra has finalized a contract with Norwegian healthcare region Helse Vest Regional Health Authority (RHF).
This deal will lead to an expansion of Helse Vest's use of the vendor's platform to include digital pathology. The system will be integrated with its laboratory information system, which will provide pathologists with digital images of tissue samples, according to Sectra.
The platform will allow pathologists to access and share current and historical images as well as information from any location at any time and enable additional image analysis, all of which is vital for cancer treatment, the company noted.
Helse Vest is responsible for the care of 1.1 million residents at 11 public hospitals.
