Swedish IT and medical company Sectra will install its breast imaging PACS (picture archiving and communications systems) at Brystsentrum, a breast screening center in Tonsberg, Norway.

 Brystsentrum is the first screening center in Norway to use digital equipment in a screening program for mammography. Physicians at the facility believe that the company's open system will allow for easy integration with its other systems.
