Largest university hospital in Belgium chooses digital pathology from Sectra to further enhance cancer diagnostics
UZ Leuven is a leading academic hospital located in Leuven, Belgium , and is one of the largest healthcare providers in the region. It was top-ranked by Newsweek as the best hospital in Belgium and among the top 50 in the world . The 10-year contract for Sectra's digital pathology solution was signed in the second quarter of Sectra's 2024/2025 fiscal year.
"Healthcare providers, especially the larger university hospitals, have gathered experiences from their own or others' implementations of digital pathology. The value of vendor neutrality when it comes to choosing scanners is becoming clear in many of these projects. Sectra has a track record of both promoting and enabling open integrations and of supporting large-scale primary diagnostic workflows. I look forward to utilizing that know-how to support UZ Leuven as they take their next steps for improved patient care," says Bart Thielen , Managing Director, Sectra Benelux.
The pathology solution is part of Sectra's enterprise imaging solution, which provides a unified strategy for all imaging needs while lowering operational costs. The scalable and modular solution, with a VNA at its core, allows healthcare providers to grow from ology to ology and from enterprise to enterprise.
