St. Luke’s University Health Network has implemented a next-generation enterprise imaging system designed to improve how medical images are stored, accessed and shared across its facilities.
The new platform, provided by Sectra, a global developer of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and medical imaging technology, creates a unified archive capable of managing images across multiple specialties, including radiology, cardiology and ophthalmology.
Under the new system, images from different campuses and departments are stored in a single, centralized platform, allowing authorized providers to retrieve studies quickly regardless of where they were created.
Officials said the system is intended to streamline clinical workflows and improve access to imaging information for physicians and care teams.
“This enterprise imaging solution is another example of St. Luke’s strategic investment in cutting-edge technology that elevates patient care and supports our mission to remain one of the nation’s top health systems,” said Dr. Robert Fournier, St. Luke’s Chairman of Radiology. “A single, secure archive for all imaging across the Network enhances collaboration, strengthens clinical decision-making and ultimately benefits every patient we serve.”
Sectra said the cloud-based system includes cybersecurity protections such as encryption and allows users to access imaging tools through a standard web browser.
“For years, Sectra has been advancing a vision for enterprise imaging and integrated diagnostics, one that strengthens collaboration, improves access to information and ultimately supports better patient care,” said Isaac Zaworski, U.S. president for Sectra. “St. Luke’s is leaning into this vision and setting an example for others through their commitment to innovation. We couldn’t be prouder to have them as a partner.”
St. Luke’s was recognized in 2025 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as the nation’s top health system for quality, safety and patient experience, according to the network.
“Clinical images are essential parts of a patient’s health story. Sectra ensures those stories are complete, connected and accessible,” said Dr. Christine Ramirez, Associate Chief Medical Information Officer. “Unifying every imaging modality, workflow and clinician on one enterprise imaging platform advances St. Luke’s mission by empowering clinicians, improving outcomes and elevating patient care.”
