Sectra completes nationwide
telepathology solution in the Netherlands
I
nternational medical imaging IT
and cybersecurity company, Sectra,
has completed the unique nationwide
telepathology solution in the Netherlands, PIE.
The final part of the solution, which enables
automatic upload of all images connected
to a case, has now been approved and
released. Pathology laboratories all over the
Netherlands can connect to the solution and
share digital pathology images to carry out
consultations and revisions and participate in
expert panels. The solution will thus play a key
role in improving cancer care in the country.
“Together with UMC Utrecht, we have been
testing the functionality of automatic
upload of all images connected to a
case. What impresses me the most is the
ease of use and few clicks required,” said
Konnie Hebeda, Pathologist at Radboud
University Medical Center (Radboudumc).
The solution is cloud-based and enables

sharing of digital pathology images on a
national scale. Being able to easily share
pathology images for consultations,
revisions and panel discussions will help to
reduce lead times, decrease inter-observer
variation and improve the overall quality
of diagnosis. The project is the first of
its kind in the world and was initiated in
2017 by the Dutch Society for Pathology
(NVVP) and the nationwide pathology
network Foundation PALGA. It has been
implemented by Sectra, together with
the subcontractors Deutsche Telekom
Healthcare and RAM Infotechnology.
