Cooper University Health Care Selects Sectra’s Subscription Model for Enterprise Imaging

SHELTON, Conn., July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT B) will install its enterprise imaging system at Cooper University Health Care. The contract includes modules for radiology and breast imaging as well as the Sectra VNA to store all radiology images, as well as cardiology images, generated throughout the organization. This unified imaging approach will provide caregivers a full patient overview and allow breast radiologists to view all modalities from one system.

The contract signed in June 2022, provides enterprise imaging as a subscription service (Sectra One). This allows for scalability of the system as Cooper's volumes grow and easily facilitates expansion into other specialties.

"Sectra can offer the physician team at Cooper a streamlined reading approach by consolidating all imaging, regardless of its department of origin, in one patient record on one unique system," says Isaac Zaworski, President of Sectra, Inc.

The Cooper Health Sciences campus is home to Cooper University Hospital, MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper, Children's Regional Hospital at Cooper, and Cooper Medical School of Rowan University.
