Italian hospitals invest in medical imaging systems from Sectra The IT and medical-technology company Sectra's efforts to increase sales in the Italian medical market are starting to bear fruit. Through a successful cooperation with Andra S.p.A., several healthcare providers ranging from large hospital chains to small and medium-sized clinics have chosen medical imaging systems from Sectra. Among the new customers that will implement Sectra's solution are SDN in Naples, one of the largest private diagnostic centers in southern Italy, Ospedale di Castiglione, a multi-site hospital managed by a private group, and Data Medica of Padova, a group of clinics and medical-imaging centers. “Our recent success on the market proves that our dedicated group of IT specialists, combined with Sectra's solution, attracts hospitals seeking to enhance their radiology operations,” says Vittorio Pirera, President of Andra S.p.A. Medical IT systems benefit healthcare efficiency Sectra's medical imaging solutions contribute to efficient and safe processing and archiving of digital images, allowing radiologists and the clinicians to read images productively and securely without compromising diagnostic quality or patient integrity.
