Sectra has signed a cooperation agreement with the Swedish research company Synthetic MR AB. As a result of the agreement, Sectra’s customers will be able to use new software-based technology for improved analysis of magnetic resonance (MR) images.
Synthetic MR is a software-based technology with the potential to enhance efficiency of the patient flow in MR examinations. The software will be offered as a clinical application in Sectra’s system for management of radiology images, PACS.
”We are highly impressed by the efficiency enhancement in magnetic resonance examinations that may potentially be achieved with Synthetic MR’s software,” says Torbjörn Kronander, President of Sectra Imtec AB. ”The software provides time-savings for the patients, hospital personnel and technicians as well as facilitating and improving the analysis of MR images.”
