Sectra signs multi-year contract with Nordic region's largest radiology company

Sectra, the market leader in Scandinavia for managing radiology images and
patient information systems (RIS/PACS), and Norwegian company Curato, the Nordic
region's largest supplier of radiology examinations, have signed a six-year
partnership agreement for Sectra's products and services. The order value
amounts to approximately SEK 100 million.

Under the agreement, Sectra will assume total responsibility for the operation
of Curato's IT systems and supply Sectra RIS/PACS to all 12 of Curato's
radiology clinics. The installation of Sectra's total solution will enhance the
efficiency of the radiology workflow and increase access to images and patient
information. Curato and Sectra will also conduct joint research projects aimed
at further improving image diagnostics and thereby enhancing quality for the
patient.

“Increasingly, customers are seeking a supplier that assumes total
responsibility for the installation and operation of all IT systems at their
clinics,” says Torbjörn Kronander, President of Sectra Imtec AB. “This agreement
confirms our ability to serve as a complete supplier of large-scale and complex
IT solutions for the healthcare sector and we are proud to have gained the trust
for this assignment from such a competent customer as Curato.”

Modern-day healthcare must be able to provide care for more patients and handle
more information and a higher number of radiology images more quickly and at a
lower cost. This situation imposes rigorous demands on the efficiency of private
healthcare providers, such as Curato. 

“The agreement with Sectra will improve our competitiveness in procuring
radiology services,” says Hans Olav Almaas, President of Curato AS. “Using
Sectra's systems will make the distribution of radiology images and diagnoses
rapid, secure and efficient and enable us to provide even better service to our
clients.”
