Sectra invests in women’s health: Prime Minister Göran Persson to inaugurate production in Kista

The research project that begun in the 90s at the Royal Institute of Technology have developed into an industry that employs 50 people. An additional 25 already work in subcontracting for Sectra’s facility in Kista. In the new facility, there is space both for production and development of digital mammography systems. Sectra’s investments are based on the radiology detector developed by Associate Professor Mats Danielsson and his colleagues at the Royal Institute of Technology.
