Sectra to provide Loyalist College with cloud imaging training portal
Sectra says Loyalist College in Ontario will use its cloud-based Education Portal to give medical imaging students access to anonymized cases for training.
Sectra said it will provide Loyalist College in Ontario with its cloud-based Education Portal under an annual subscription agreement signed in Sectra’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2025/2026.
The company said the platform will give medical imaging students access to anonymized diagnostic cases in a realistic learning environment. Sectra said the portal is intended to support training in diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring.
Sectra said the software is designed to let students practice on cases that reflect clinical workflows while using a fully managed cloud service. It said the SaaS model can reduce the IT burden for schools because updates, security and access to new features are handled through the service.
Sectra described itself in the release as an international medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company. It said the Education Portal is built on its enterprise imaging solution and can support additional imaging specialties. The company also said the platform is scalable across programs and faculties and allows on-demand access from users’ own devices.
The release said clinicians at nearby hospitals can use anonymized cases from their clinical environment to build courses and assessments that students can access from anywhere. Sectra said the solution also supports skill development, competency verification and performance tracking.
Dr. Amanda Baskwill, senior vice-president academic and chief learning officer at Loyalist College, said students need practice with scenarios similar to those they will face in clinical settings. She said the portal will help learners build confidence and practical skills and prepare for placements and the workforce.
Nader Soltani, president of Sectra Canada Inc., said Loyalist College is the first in Ontario to implement what he called a globally proven solution that bridges education and clinical practice.
Sectra said the initial order allows up to 50 users a month to access the platform. The company also said the system is intended to mirror everyday diagnostic workflows.
The release did not disclose financial terms beyond the annual subscription structure. It also said more teaching and academic institutions may follow Loyalist College’s lead.
