Danish county opts for mammography system from Sectra

Sjælland County in Denmark is expanding its mammography operations and investing
in the mammography system with the market's lowest radiation dose, Sectra
MicroDose Mammography, from the IT and medical-technology company Sectra. The
order value amounts to SEK 11 million (EUR 1.2 million).

Sectra's mammography system has the lowest radiation dose on the international
market.  
As a result of the low radiation dose, combined with good ergonomics and a
well-conceived workflow, nurses and radiologists can work more efficiently and
safely without exposing women to a higher radiation dose than necessary.

“We deliver a complete solution for mammography,” says Jens Kring, Marketing
Manager at Sectra A/S in Denmark. “A major source of security for women being
examined using Sectra MicroDose Mammography is that the system combines the
unmatched lowest radiation dose on the market with high imaging quality.” 

With the new equipment in place, the County expects to nearly double the number
of women called for mammography screening each year, compared with today.
