Sectra (STO:SECTB) and Norwegian company Curato, the Nordic region’s
largest supplier of radiology examinations, have signed a six-year
partnership agreement for Sectra’s RIS/PACS products and services. The
order value amounts to approximately SEK 100 million.
Under the agreement, Sectra will assume total responsibility for the

are proud to have gained the trust for this assignment from such a
competent customer as Curato.”

procuring radiology services,” says Hans Olav Almaas, President of
Curato AS. “Using Sectra’s systems will make the distribution of
radiology images and diagnoses rapid, secure and efficient and enable us
