Salford Royal Hospital is now live with Sectra Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), for reporting and diagnostic imaging.
Going live with the system provides reporters and radiologists at Salford Royal the ability to view and report on imaging studies, “rather than having to navigate separate systems to provide reports that inform patient care, diagnoses and treatment,” the hospital stated.
The programme forms part of a wider roll-out across Greater Manchester throughout 2025 and 2026, along with other sites in the Northern Care Alliance, joining the Greater Manchester Imaging Network who are using the platform to “view, analyse and interrogate millions of patient scans including x-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, and MRI”.
Divisional managing director for imaging at the Northern Care Alliance, Christian Kasmeridis said: “This is a great opportunity for teams to come together to improve the patient experience and journey, by bringing our radiological services together across the Northern Care Alliance footprint. The feedback from the reporting radiological workforce has been extremely encouraging and the solution has been implemented by the dedicated staff in the department because of their commitment to improving patient care.”
