"For us, it's important to have an innovative partner who can offer scalable and future-proof solutions. Since we're already convinced by Sectra's radiology solution, providing the functionalities for other areas is the next logical option," says Professor Marcus Makowski, Director of the Department for Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at TUM Klinikum Rechts der Isar.

Unifying medical specialties in a single system is beneficial for both the organization-as only having one system to manage reduces costs, strengthens cybersecurity and decreases IT-burdens-as well as for clinicians who can collaborate more easily. The solution enables medical professionals to collaborate more effectively with pathology departments by providing digital tissue images to clinicians. This enables them to collaborate more easily, utilize digital tools as well as being able to leverage AI functionality. Having pathology in the same system as radiology will facilitate collaboration across the specialties by providing easy access to each other's reports and images, for example, which will support improved cancer care where the two specialties play a key role.

Guido Bötticher, Managing Director, Sectra DACH, comments:

"To continue delivering high-quality care despite growing imaging volumes and limited resources, healthcare providers need to equip their physicians with solutions optimized for efficient diagnostics-and ensure smooth, straightforward collaboration across specialties. TUM Klinikum's decision to take this step reflects their commitment to providing the best possible care for their patients."

The five-year contract for TUM Klinikum's expanded use of Sectra's enterprise imaging solution was signed in the third quarter of Sectra's 2025/2026 fiscal year and includes the modules for pathology and ophthalmology. The solution is licensed to support up to 300,000 examinations per year.

The pathology and ophthalmology modules are a 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.
