OVERVIEW

A high-performance, enterprise-wide Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and universal viewer, consistently ranked #1 in customer satisfaction.

Sectra PACS is the core component of Sectra's Enterprise Imaging portfolio, designed to manage and distribute medical images and information across an entire healthcare enterprise and beyond. Built on the proprietary Sectra RapidConnect™ technology, the system is engineered for speed and reliability, enabling rapid image and data delivery even over less-than-optimal networks, a crucial feature for wide-area and multi-site radiology workflows. The system boasts a guaranteed uptime of 99.99% for 24/7 operations.

Key to the solution is Sectra UniView, a web-based, zero-footprint universal viewer that provides fast, secure access to 2D, MPR, and 3D images from virtually any device, including tablets and phones. This allows for seamless collaboration and remote diagnostics. Sectra PACS is highly modular and scalable, supporting a broad range of clinical applications for image-intense departments including radiology, breast imaging, digital pathology, cardiology, and orthopaedics.

It features an open architecture that supports industry standards like DICOM, IHE, and HL7, facilitating deep integration with existing hospital systems (RIS, HIS, EMR, dictation) and third-party AI tools through the Sectra Amplifier Marketplace. The solution is available through the Sectra One subscription model, offering enterprise imaging as a service to help organizations consolidate image handling, reduce operational costs, and mitigate cybersecurity risks.
