The contract is for a period of 14 years, and an option has been provided to extend it for further six.

GE Healthcare Northern Europe general manager Karl Blight said: "Currently, each care pathway for each pelvic cancer is being managed separately by specialties such as surgeons, urologists, gynaecologists, but they all converge at various points in the pathway.

"This represents an important opportunity for knowledge transfer between specialties and delivering improvements in value-based healthcare across multiple care pathways."

"GE Healthcare will offer consultancy services, tools for healthcare analytics and a PET/CT imaging platform to the hospital."

The deal will allow the hospital access with a Caradigm intelligence platform (CIP) from Caradigm, a joint venture of GE Healthcare and Microsoft.
