Helping medical imaging professionals to accomplish more

Seamless integration into existing diagnostic workflows

Your existing diagnostic viewer is the starting point. Tight integration based on industry standards is key to adopting and leveraging the full potential of AI in daily practice. Properly integrated AI tools reduce time spent on repetitive and time-consuming tasks. AI-driven workflows help you prioritize and triage cases, increase diagnostic quality, and improve consistency and standardization in reporting.

AI across multiple clinical disciplines

Innovation driven by AI technology reaches far beyond the radiology department. Your diagnostic viewer, whether applied to radiology, breast imaging, pathology, cardiology—or any other clinical specialty—is the interface that AI needs to be seamlessly integrated into. This integration must always be driven by standards that permit adopting the latest innovations from the industry and easy exchange of AI applications so as to prevent lock-in.

Access to best-of-breed AI applications

Sectra has a long tradition of providing open platforms that external vendors and researchers can easily integrate with. By using industry standards and open APIs, we make it easy to tailor the diagnostic viewer to your needs and to add applications that provide workflow and user efficiencies. We help you integrate and process results from external vendors and utilize Sectra’s own AI applications, all in a single integrated solution. We are forming an ecosystem of certified applications together with our strong partner network of AI vendors to improve efficiency and quality, thus providing a unified entry point to a “best-of-breed” portfolio.

The range of available applications can assist you not only in diagnostics—such as detection, quantification, and classification—but also in workflow orchestration including triage, examination, and resource allocation. Moreover, the applications can assist with reporting, for instance pre-populating structured reports with measurements and comparisons. You can start with a few applications and expand use gradually. Business cases become optimal with full AI coverage of the workflow, making it possible to monitor and validate its end-to-end impact on efficiency and quality improvements.

Unified technical infrastructure to deploy and host applications

Running multiple applications in a hospital environment, with each of them demanding its own integrations and specifications, is a challenge on its own. Safely and efficiently adopting AI in clinical practice and routine diagnostics requires an orchestrating “middle layer”. Your imaging system should connect to a vendor-neutral platform—a marketplace—that offers a wide range of quality-approved AI applications from many different vendors, ensures proper integration with the entire workflow, and offers one contracting party. A single point of coordination to access a best-of-breed portfolio of AI applications facilitates faster adoption in daily practice and creates peace of mind for business administrators and purchasing experts.

We are currently developing the Sectra Amplifier Marketplace to facilitate the deployment and use of AI applications in medical imaging. The first component of the marketplace is the Sectra Amplifier Store. This curated storefront allows you to easily navigate a continually expanding assortment of vetted, regulatory approved AI applications that seamlessly integrate into your existing Sectra PACS and workflows.
