Cyprus hospital digitizes mammo operations with Sectra

The Aevresis Diagnostic Center in Nicosia, Cyprus, has chosen to digitize its mammography operations with a Sectra full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system.

Proton, Sectra's new distribution partner for Greece and Cyprus, sold the system.

With the mammography system, Sectra MicroDose Mammography, Aevresis Diagnostic Center will be able to offer women mammography exams with a low radiation dose, according to the Linköping, Sweden-based company.
