Sectra and Mount Sinai Transform Radiology Workflows

In an ambitious move to enhance radiology services, Sectra, an international leader in medical imaging IT, has partnered with the Mount Sinai Health System in New York. This groundbreaking collaboration will see the implementation of Sectra Reporting, a native module integrated within Sectra's comprehensive imaging solution, Sectra One Cloud. This partnership sets a new standard for radiologists in the United States, promising to streamline workflows and significantly improve efficiency.

Seamless Radiology Experience

The integration of Sectra Reporting is designed to take radiologists from worklist to finalized reports in one fluid experience. By eliminating the need to toggle between multiple systems, this innovation aims to significantly reduce report turnaround times. As Dr. David S. Mendelson, Vice Chair of Radiology Information Technology at Mount Sinai, has indicated, the new platform aligns the processes of image reading and report writing, enabling a more effective use of radiological tools.

“Radiologists read the image and write the report as one task, and their tools should work the same way,” said Dr. Mendelson. With the advancement of AI capabilities, radiologists at Mount Sinai will benefit from enhanced tools that require less integration effort, allowing them to focus more on their primary role of patient care.

About the Partnership

This partnership marks a significant milestone for Mount Sinai, which becomes the first health system in the United States to adopt Sectra Reporting for radiology. The collaboration encompasses all radiology services within Mount Sinai, which includes seven hospitals and hundreds of outpatient practices throughout the New York metropolitan area. This extensive network performs over 1.2 million exams annually, demonstrating the scale at which the Sectra solution will operate.

The technology allows for a comprehensive approach where imaging, AI, and reporting converge on a singular platform. By leveraging this unification, Mount Sinai is not only reducing vendor complexity but simplifying its IT management—a crucial step for large healthcare systems managing multiple tools and technologies.

The Future of Radiology at Mount Sinai

With a seven-year contract signed in the second quarter of Sectra's 2026/2027 fiscal year, implementation of the new reporting system is set to go live in the spring of 2027. The advantages promised by this initiative extend beyond mere efficiency; it embodies a broader movement toward unified diagnostic workflows within healthcare systems. Isaac Zaworski, President of Sectra, elaborated on the impact, stating, “Reporting belongs where the images are. At Sectra, it's part of the same system.”

As radiologists dictate their findings, Sectra Reporting automatically structures the reports, using AI to draft impressions while conducting quality checks that help to surface inconsistencies prior to final sign-off. This automatic structuring and checking not only enhances the speed of reporting but also improves the accuracy of diagnoses.

Comprehensive Imaging Solutions

Sectra's enterprise imaging solution promises a robust strategy for managing all imaging needs while keeping operational costs low. Its scalable framework supports growth across different modalities and healthcare enterprises, fostering continuous improvement and evolution in patient care.

Healthcare providers now have access to a streamlined solution that enhances their capabilities and supports their operational needs. This innovative partnership sets the stage for the future of radiology, ensuring that radiologists are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to provide timely and accurate patient care.

Conclusion

As Sectra and Mount Sinai embark on this pioneering journey, the implications for healthcare are profound. With improved workflows and technology that aligns with the demands of modern radiology, this collaboration not only enhances operational efficiency but ultimately serves to improve patient outcomes in the realm of diagnostic medicine. For those interested in the immediate future of healthcare technology, the upcoming RSNA 2026 conference will feature Sectra Reporting at booth #8119, showcasing the advancements that are shaping the world of radiology today.
