International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra’s digital pathology solution will be adopted by the hospital CH Béziers in France. It is the third hospital in the region to choose Sectra, providing it with a powerful platform for collaboration.
The solution will enhance workflow efficiency, and minimise variability in pathology reviews, ultimately improving patient care.
“Going digital within our pathology operations will provide us with tools necessary for an efficient workflow. It will also enhance the collaboration between our region’s hospitals, facilitating sharing of resources and expertise so that we can ensure precise and accurate diagnoses and faster cancer care for our patients,” says Dr Guzman, Chief Pathologist at Centre Hospitalier de Béziers.
The hospitals complement their use of microscopes with a digital solution, allowing the pathologists to enhance review and collaboration around cases as well as benefit from AI tools. The digital workflow provides instant and, if needed, remote access to digital images of tissue samples instead of relying on physical glass slides reviewed in microscopes.
The contract for Sectra’s digital pathology solution was signed in the second quarter of Sectra’s 2024/2025 fiscal year.
“Providing high-quality care, especially in complex cases like cancer, is increasingly challenging for smaller hospitals. Digital pathology is an important part of the solution and we have seen tangible positive outcomes in France when technology has enabled deepened collaboration between care providers to better support patients in their regions. I look forward to supporting CH Béziers in their mission for improved cancer care,” says Fabien Lozach, President of Sectra in France.
Sectra’s enterprise imaging solution provides a unified strategy for all imaging needs while lowering operational costs. The scalable and modular solution, with a VNA at its core, allows healthcare providers to grow from ology to ology and from enterprise to enterprise.
