International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra has launched a new generation of its cloud-based teaching platform Sectra Education Portal. It will greatly enhance students’ learning outside the classroom with significant improvements in usability and functionality. Aligned with Sectra’s overall commitment to deliver cloud-first software, it will facilitate bridging the gap between education and students’ professional careers for students at hundreds of medical schools using the platform.
“We want to give students the power to get as close to their future reality as they possibly can and at the same time help teachers to manage education efficiently in a landscape where we envisage an explosive increase in medical knowledge. Teachers and students will now be able to access Sectra’s unique visualization tools and clinical learning material through a completely new cloud-based web portal to further support that goal,” explained Johan Carlegrim, President of Sectra’s business unit Medical Education.
A growing need for care along with a rapid increase in medical knowledge is creating challenges when it comes to training healthcare personnel effectively. Managing these challenges requires new ways of working and new tools in medical education. The digital tools and actual patient cases in Sectra Education Portal help create a bridge between training and healthcare. When students can realistically interact with patient cases, it creates deeper understanding of and insight into anatomy as well as the body’s functions and processes. This improves the learning process and helps students develop their analytical and problem-solving skills.
The “Best in KLAS” award-winning Sectra PACS is powering the teaching platform to enable the fast rendering of 3D images and provides a realistic learning experience by using the tools used in real clinical practice. The new generation of Sectra Education Portal has been developed to support students to browse and explore from their own devices no matter where they study from, as well as help teachers to prepare lessons. This makes it easier for universities to scale up usage to large numbers of teachers and students. As the platform is cloud-based the users get access to new functionality and clinical tools from anywhere and as soon as they become available.
The new generation of Sectra Education Portal will be available for customers later this year.
The Sectra Education Portal is a subscription-based Software-as-a-Service solution that provides visualization tools and content at the university, at home or at the hospital. The portal includes a large number of anonymized medical cases and images that have been collected in collaboration with Sectra’s customers. It comprises anatomy, histopathology, radiology, trauma, orthopaedics, oncology, surgery and other specialties. Teachers can also choose to import and use their own content, which allows them to customize their lessons. The platform is provided by Sectra’s business unit Medical Education and is used by educational institutions and hospitals in more than 60 countries worldwide. The number of unique users increased nearly 40% from 2020 to 2021 and the number of subscribers to the cloud service increased 21% during the 2021/22 fiscal year.
The new generation of the teaching platform will be showcased at booth #61 during the yearly conference of the Association for Medical Education, which is held in Lyon, France, August 27-31. Read more and book a meeting with Sectra at AMEE 2022.

Clarius Mobile Health is first to introduce a third-generation product line of high-performance wireless ultrasound scanners in the European Union and United Kingdom. Now 30% lighter and smaller, the new pocket-sized scanners that connect with Apple and Android devices are available with new features that will put premium handheld ultrasound into the hands of more doctors. Clarius has replaced the complex knobs and buttons found on traditional ultrasound systems with an app that uses artificial intelligence and intuitive touch-based controls. Thousands of first and second generation Clarius scanners are already in use across the continent to improve diagnostic speed and accuracy and improve procedural safety.
“Clinicians in Europe and the UK have been early adopters of Clarius wireless ultrasound, and we know excitement has been building for our new miniaturized Clarius HD3 because we’ve had a long list of customers eagerly waiting for CE certification,” says Clarius Founder Laurent Pelissier. “Our mission has always been to improve patient care by enabling more clinicians to use ultrasound. Now that Clarius is reduced to the size of an iPhone, easier to use, and costs less, we’re expecting more clinicians will use ultrasound to deliver the best patient care.”
In emergency environments, the Clarius C3 HD3 multipurpose scanner saves lives. Dr Wolfgang Fleischmann, an anaesthesiologist and emergency medicine physician, describes why the Red Cross chose Clarius when it sought to equip its emergency services vehicles with hospital-grade portable ultrasound.
“We had the opportunity to extensively test the Clarius scanner in our prehospital emergency environment. The product impressed us with its image quality, its reliability, its short start-up time, and good price-to-performance ratio. It prompted us to equip all our emergency doctors’ cars and ambulances with the Clarius ultrasound device.”
Clarius sets itself apart from other handheld ultrasound systems with exceptional imaging quality that rivals expensive cart-based systems, wireless connectivity, and specialty scanners with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) designed to optimize clarity and workflows for different anatomy and applications.
Clarius offers software packages designed for many specialty applications including Advanced Breast, Musculoskeletal, Obstetrics, Primary/Critical Care, Vascular, Veterinary Packages, and Aesthetics. They deliver dedicated presets, advanced workflows, comprehensive measurements, and fined tuned imaging, leveraging artificial intelligence and SaaS to deliver a complete handheld ultrasound solution that’s connected to the cloud.
Clinicians can choose from seven ultrasound scanners, each designed to meet the specific requirements of a broad range of medical specialties.
With best-in-class MSK imaging, the Clarius L15 HD3 high-frequency linear scanner is a top choice amongst orthopaedic surgeons. Dr Rudolf Berlakovits, MD, PhD, an orthopaedic surgeon in Vienna, Austria, describes the advantages of the new Clarius HD3 for safe, procedural guidance.
“To me as an orthopaedic surgeon, the Clarius HD3 is a highly recommended device for interventional orthopaedics and ultrasound guided orthopaedic surgery. There is no cable, making it easy to keep aseptic, and the probe provides perfect handling. Another great benefit is the possibility to share the findings with colleagues all over the world in real-time with Clarius Cloud exam management.”
Dr Ines Verner, an Aesthetic Dermatologist based in Tel-Aviv, uses the Clarius L20 wireless ultrasound scanner to prevent complications such as vascular occlusions during aesthetic procedures like cosmetic fillers. She was among the first to try the Clarius L20 HD3 for facial aesthetics.
“It’s a breakthrough in the field. Clarius is a good fit for aesthetics because it lets me clearly see fine facial anatomy, it’s easy to use, the image quality is good, it’s wireless, and it’s small so I can take it with me from room to room,” Dr Verner says. “Ultrasound is a gamechanger for the aesthetics industry because we can really see what we need to see instead of injecting blindly, which is what most of us used to do. Now, we can inject knowing where we’re going and not to inject where we don’t want to inject.”
Clarius has introduced a new Clarius Membership bundle that makes the entry price lower and enables new users to fast-track ultrasound proficiency.
Clarius HD3 wireless scanners now start at €2875 with a €575 annual membership in Europe or £2440 with £490 membership annual membership in the United Kingdom. Members gain access to all advanced SaaS, enhanced education options, and unlimited exam management in the Clarius Cloud. A three-year standard warranty is included with enhanced warranty options available through Clarius Care.
