Sectra: Louisiana Breast Centers Invest in Sectra’s Breast Imaging IT Solution

LINKÖPING, Sweden–(BUSINESS WIRE)–International medical imaging IT company Sectra (http://www.sectra.com/)
(STO: SECTB) announces that Breast Center of Acadiana, in the US, has
entered into a multi-year agreement to deploy Breast Imaging PACS in its
two freestanding imaging centers. This investment will provide the
Breast Center a future-proof platform capable of expanding with the
practice.

Breast Center of Acadiana provides screening mammography along with
screening 3D ultrasound to women in southern Louisiana at locations in
Lafayette and Youngsville. The Lafayette location also serves as the
referral center for patients requiring more specialized and personalized
breast imaging procedures and biopsies for diagnosis of breast cancer
and other breast problems.

Gary Mathews M.D., a radiologist who specializes in breast imaging, is
the founder and medical director of Breast Center of Acadiana. “I am
eager to implement the Sectra PACS in our practice. Its versatility and
adaptability for customization as well as its worldwide acceptance and
proven track record were key factors in my decision. Sectra’s technology
will provide a new computer platform to most effectively operate our
state of the art imaging including digital mammography, breast
ultrasound, automated whole breast (3D) ultrasound, and breast MRI. With
the Sectra system in place, our breast center is better equipped to
serve our patients and doctors into the future,” says Dr. Mathews.

Sectra PACS displays images from any modality, side-by-side with digital
mammograms, facilitating comparison of current and prior images
according to radiologist preference. “Sectra’s high quality display and
reading flexibility has earned acclaim as the most user-friendly PACS
for breast imaging radiologists,” says Mikael Anden, president of Sectra
North America.

Sectra Breast Imaging PACS will be showcased in booth #6113 at RSNA in
Chicago (http://www.sectra.com/medical/about/campaign/rsna2015/index.html).
