Swedish county council continues its digitalization of mammography based on equipment from Sectra Värmland County Council is focusing on expanding the digitalization of its mammography operations and is investing in mammography systems with the market's lowest radiation dose, Sectra MicroDose Mammography, from the IT and medical-technology company Sectra. The County Council has used Sectra MicroDose Mammography since 2006 and is now expanding its focus on digital mammography. To be able to satisfy the increased flow of women to the operations, the County Council is investing in a further two low-dose systems from Sectra. “Sectra's mammography equipment provides us with a safe, ergonomic and efficient way of working, which will enable us to successfully manage our expanded focus on mammography-based medical examinations. Such a considerable flow of patients also imposes major demands on the equipment in terms of service and maintenance, and Sectra has a well-developed organization to cope with this”, says Birgitta Andersson, Head of Mammography Operations in Värmland. With the new equipment in place, the County Council expects a substantial increase in the number of women who can be called for mammography screening each year.
