LINKOPING, Sweden, Nov. 24, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Sectra, one of the major diagnostic imaging providers in the world, launches the new release of Sectra PACS(TM) based upon a new web deployment strategy. Sectra PACS(TM) release 10 is the latest version of the award-winning Sectra PACS(TM) product. Based on an entirely new web deployment strategy, the system meets all the requirements needed for a full-scale, high performance web deployable PACS.

Additional features in release 10 include a new web client for image and result distribution and integration with electronic patient record systems, enhanced functionality for multi-slice CT and MR visualization, an extensive E-learning tool for cost effective introduction of new PACS users. In addition it includes Sectra PACS control tower, a powerful system and workflow-monitoring tool aimed for department managers and systems administrators. For image distribution a CD/DVD production center and e-mail based teleradiology has been added.
"Important issues in today's healthcare environment are to lower costs and create more efficient solutions while maintaining a high standard of care," Dr Torbjorn Kronander, President of Sectra Imtec states. "With this focus, new features have been developed for Sectra PACS release 10 to ensure that individual healthcare providers, from radiology and cardiology to clinical specialties such as orthopedic surgery, have the imaging tools they need. Further, system administration and upgrades can be performed with minimal effort," he continues.
