First order in North America for Sectra MicroDose Mammography

The women of Canada will soon benefit from low-dose mammography. Trillium Radiology Associates, which operates private diagnostic imaging facilities in Toronto and Mississauga, has invested in four digital mammography systems from the IT and medical technology company Sectra. The system was sold by Xtron Imaging Inc., Sectra's new distribution partner for Canada.

Using Sectra's mammography system, Sectra MicroDose Mammography, four of Trillium Imaging Associates' clinics will be able to offer women mammography examinations with the lowest possible radiation dose.

Canada is a large healthcare market. Today, most of the mammography systems in Canada are analog and there is growing demand for digital mammography systems.

"This is a strategic order for us as it is the first in North America. It will serve as an important reference for all of North America as well as being a first step into the highly quality-oriented Canadian healthcare market, in which women are very aware of their rights and well-being," says Jesper Söderqvist, President of Sectra's mammography operations.

Patient dose is high on the agenda in the radiology community. With its superior image quality, Sectra MicroDose Mammography generates by far the lowest dose of radiation of all of the systems offered in the market. Already today, Sectra MicroDose contributes to reducing radiation doses in 18 European countries, as well as in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. The Sectra MicroDose solution is used in all major mammography screening programs in Europe.
