When High Resolution in Albuquerque, New Mexico, opens the doors to their new center for women's breast imaging services they will be using the Sectra Breast Imaging PACS (Picture Archive and Communications system) to read, manage and archive digital mammography images.
High Resolution’s new USD 6 million center is a comprehensive outpatient women’s imaging center, bringing the most advanced breast imaging technologies to New Mexico. The imaging services include 100% digital mammography, breast ultrasound, dedicated breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), breast-specific gamma imaging, SonoCine, cryoablation, biopsy, and surgical consultation, in an interdisciplinary model. Laser vein ablation services will also be offered at the
center. The center opens its doors in May 2007.
In this multi-modality environment Sectra’s breast imaging solution will enhance the availability of images, allowing the radiologists at High Resolution Women’s Imaging to review all types of images productively and securely. The solution from Sectra includes customizable software tools and display protocols specifically designed for an efficient breast imaging workflow.
“Sectra’s system is highly scalable and is designed with an open architecture to grow with our practice and accommodate new technologies,” says Gary Wood, MD. “Sectra’s breast imaging solution perfectly suits the complex workflow of our center and affords us with seamless integration to all the new digital modalities,” adds Gary Wood. “I can sit down at any one of the Sectra workstations and view and manipulate any digital image acquired
from anywhere in our network.”
“Women´s imaging centers in the US continue to put trust in our products,” says Dr. John Goble, President of Sectra in North America. ”We will maintain a strong focus on systems that facilitate daily work for our customers by simplifying the handling of breast images and speeding up workflow,” he adds.
