This addition will provide pathologists with instant access to images and facilitate cross-departmental collaboration around patient cases. The service will enhance workflow efficiency and ultimately contribute to improved patient care. "By adding digital pathology into our existing system, we will improve quality of patient care, by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, precision, workflow and turnaround times. It will significantly enhance collaboration between our radiology and pathology teams, and we are confident that this unified approach will lead to better patient outcomes and improved care," says Dr. Chris Ma, Chief of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at Guelph General Hospital. Guelph General Hospital will complement their use of microscopes with a digital solution, allowing the pathologists to enhance review and collaboration around cases as well as benefit from AI tools.

With their pathologists and radiologists now sharing a unified system, it will pave the way for integrated diagnostics, which makes collaboration across different specialties more effective. "Collaboration across specialties is vital. It is especially essential when addressing complex cases, like cancer, for example. Being the first in Canada to adopt Sectra's cloud service and now the digital pathology module, Guelph General Hospital is yet again leading the way in advancing Canadian healthcare.

Guelph General Hospital (GGH) in Canada has taken a significant step forward in healthcare technology by becoming the first in the country to add Sectra's digital pathology module to its existing cloud service, Sectra One Cloud. This groundbreaking move, announced on May 15, 2025, is set to revolutionize patient care through enhanced diagnostic capabilities and improved interdepartmental collaboration 12.
The integration of digital pathology into GGH's existing system is expected to bring about substantial improvements in patient care. Dr. Chris Ma, Chief of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at GGH, emphasized the benefits: "By adding digital pathology into our existing system, we will improve quality of patient care, by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, precision, workflow and turnaround times" 1. This digital solution will complement the traditional use of microscopes, allowing pathologists to leverage AI tools and enhance their review and collaboration processes.
One of the key advantages of this new system is its ability to facilitate seamless collaboration between different medical specialties. The digital workflow provides instant and remote access to digital images of tissue samples, replacing the reliance on physical glass slides reviewed under microscopes. With pathologists and radiologists now sharing a unified system, GGH is paving the way for integrated diagnostics, which is particularly crucial for complex cases such as cancer 12.
The digital pathology module is part of Sectra's comprehensive enterprise imaging solution. This unified system aims to improve outcomes while lowering operational costs. Its scalable and modular design, centered around a Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA), allows healthcare providers to expand their capabilities across various medical specialties and enterprises without the need for new backend infrastructure 1.
Nader Soltani, President of Sectra in Canada, commended GGH's pioneering spirit: "Being the first in Canada to adopt Sectra's cloud service and now the digital pathology module, Guelph General Hospital is yet again leading the way in advancing Canadian healthcare" 2. This move builds upon GGH's existing cloud service contract with Sectra, which was established in October 2023 and extended with the digital pathology module in April 2025.
Sectra, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Linköping, Sweden, is an international medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company. With a presence in 19 countries and global distribution partners, Sectra reported sales of SEK 2,964 million in the 2023/2024 fiscal year 12.
