Swedish PACS vendor Sectra has been awarded a group purchasing agreement with Premier for its Sectra DoseTrack radiation dose-tracking software.
Effective as of last month, the new agreement allows Premier members, at their discretion, to use special pricing and terms prenegotiated by Premier for the dose-monitoring software. Premier's alliance includes approximately 3,600 U.S. hospitals and 120,000 other healthcare providers.
Sectra DoseTrack is a web-based application for radiation dose monitoring that gathers and reports dose data from all sources within the imaging department. Analysis capabilities for dose optimization can help identify next steps such as changing modalities for specific procedures, staff training, or imaging protocol revisions. The software also considers patient size and demographics to aid in effective organ dose calculations and patient risk assessment.
