SECTRA Pathology

The KLAS-awarded Sectra Digital Pathology Solution helps you make quick and accurate diagnoses of histopathology and cytology cases. The high-end digital review application gives you the right tools to perform daily tasks and reduce the pain points you get with time-consuming manual workflow. This includes sorting of images, use of built-in or integrated image analysis, and built-in reporting module—to mention a few examples. You get full case overview—including images from different scanners with different file formats, macro cameras, and other image systems—as well as patient data from information systems in the same application.

Part of Sectra Enterprise Image Management, this solution lets you access all kinds of medical imaging and patient information within the same IT infrastructure. You can easily review histology, macro and radiology, or other images side by side, which in turn allows for more efficient multidisciplinary team meetings and better general rad-path collaboration. What’s more, the solution also lets you share images and information easily, for efficient information and resource exchange.

Fast and more consistent reviews

With intelligent worklists and a patient-centric overview that shows request information, patient data, and full image history, Sectra’s Digital Pathology Solution makes it easy for you to find the right case to work on. As well as all the information you need to start reviewing.

High-speed image display and plenty of tools let you view and interact with the images in a fast and intuitive way. Examples include tools for measuring areas and distances, changing the orientation of an image, or making annotations. You also benefit from automated image analysis as well as instant live sharing of cases with peers regardless of geographic location.

Reports, written or prepared with speech recognition, are distributed to your information system through standards-based integration.

Vendor neutrality for efficient workflows

With a vendor-agnostic approach, Sectra’s Digital Pathology Solution lets you access the full patient overview at any time, from anywhere. This is thanks to support for standards like HL7 and DICOM, as well as proprietary file formats and integration protocols when needed for integration with different scanners, macro cameras, information systems, or other imaging systems.

When you can perform all daily tasks from a single application, you can achieve efficient pathology workflows. This is especially beneficial in primary diagnostics, where large volumes are handled.

The solution also makes image sharing easy, saving both time and money, and eliminates the risk of losing or breaking glass slides. You can use it for external review, remote consultation, and workload balancing—independent of the local system used for in-house review.

More time to focus on the diagnosis

Digital pathology increases both the efficiency and quality of the diagnostic review. With the computer taking care of time-consuming tasks, you have time to focus on what’s most important setting the diagnosis.

Digitization also enables image analysis, which in turn reduces variation and improves the precision of tasks such as cell counting.
