Sectra has signed a five-year PACS contract with Region Skåne to replace existing systems at the university hospitals in Malmö and Lund.

The initial order value amounts to SEK30 million ($4.16 million U.S.).

The agreement includes an option to connect the other radiology departments, as well as nuclear medicine and cardiology imaging units in the region, to the central backbone solution that Sectra is establishing with Region Skåne.
