Sectra (STO:SECTB) and Norwegian company Curato, the Nordic region’s largest supplier of radiology examinations, have signed a six-year partnership agreement for Sectra’s RIS/PACS products and services. The order value amounts to approximately SEK 100 million.

Under the agreement, Sectra will assume total responsibility for the operation of Curato’s IT systems and supply Sectra RIS/PACS to all 12 of Curato’s radiology clinics.

“The agreement with Sectra will improve our competitiveness in procuring radiology services,” says Hans Olav Almaas, President of Curato AS. “Using Sectra’s systems will make the distribution of radiology images and diagnoses rapid, secure and efficient and enable us to provide even better service to our clients.”
