PACS developer Sectra saw increased net sales and operating profit in the company's third fiscal quarter (end-January 31).
For the quarter, Sectra's net sales increased 2.1% to 209.6 million kronor (23.6 million euros), compared with 205.2 million kronor (23.2 million euros) in the same quarter of 2013. Operating profit increased 45% to 30.6 million kronor (3.4 million euros), compared with 21.1 million kronor (2.5 million euros) in the same quarter a year ago.
For the nine-month period, Sectra's net sales rose to 583.2 million kronor (66 million euros), up 2.5% from 568.9 million kronor ($68.3 million euros) in the same period of last fiscal year.
Nine-month operating profit increased by 53.3% to 73.9 million kronor (8.3 million euros), compared with 48.2 million kronor (5.4 million euros) last year.
![Overview of the study design. (A) The fully automated deep learning framework was developed to estimate body composition (BC) (defined as subcutaneous adipose tissue [SAT] in liters; visceral adipose tissue [VAT] in liters; skeletal muscle [SM] in liters; SM fat fraction [SMFF] as a percentage; and intramuscular adipose tissue [IMAT] in deciliters) from MRI. The fully automated framework comprised one model (model 1) to quantify different BC measures (SAT, VAT, SM, SMFF, and IMAT) as three-dimensional (3D) measures from whole-body MRI scans. The second model (model 2) was trained to identify standardized anatomic landmarks along the craniocaudal body axis (z coordinate field), which allowed for subdividing the whole-body measures into different subregions typically examined on clinical routine MRI scans (chest, abdomen, and pelvis). (B) BC was quantified from whole-body MRI in over 66,000 individuals from two large population-based cohort studies, the UK Biobank (UKB) (36,317 individuals) and the German National Cohort (NAKO) (30,291 individuals). Bar graphs show age distribution by sex and cohort. BMI = body mass index. (C) After the performance assessment of the fully automated framework, the change in BC measures, distributions, and profiles across age decades were investigated. Age-, sex-, and height-adjusted body composition reference curves were calculated and made publicly available in a web-based z-score calculator (https://circ-ml.github.io).](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/body-comp.XgAjTfPj1W.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
