Digital Pathology Improves Patient Outcomes and Enhances Financial Results for Laboratories of Any Size Pathologists face systemic challenges in their day-to-day work. The complexity of cases is constantly increasing. Required turn-around times are getting shorter and shorter. And the specialty…
Telepathology is becoming more of a mainstream option for medical diagnostics. It is fast, secure, and less expensive than an in-person approach that is currently in place. Telepathology scanners allow for faster, accurate diagnosis and treatments to be performed remotely….
The term telepathology was coined three decades ago by Dr. Ronald Weinstein to describe the delivery of pathology services over a distance. A more current definition would specifically refer to making use of the internet to link a pathologist to…
Recent health trends have triggered an increased demand for frozen sections (FS) biopsies, also known as cryosections. These are a type of tissue sample that are ‘flash’ frozen using a specially developed cryostat machine so that they can be immediately examined by pathologists…
Approximately 15% of COVID-19 cases require hospitalization. Pathologists have played a critical role throughout the course of the pandemic. They work in diagnosing COVID-19 cases and help in the autopsy process for a better understanding of how this disease works….
Telehealth solutions have become more popular as the pandemic has taken over the world. Thanks to these services, you have the ability to meet with a doctor or specialist in the safety and comfort of your own home. Besides why…
Protecting patient data (and medical data overall) is one of the hallmarks of excellent pathology practice. But common telepathology pathology scanners often come with one negative side effect: it’s easy to lose patient data. Thus, pathologists have to be extremely…
Experts say the field of digital pathology will nearly double in the next few years. As a result, they expect the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to be just under 14%. The pandemic tremendously helped to speed up the importance of telepathology solutions…
Medical errors account for 251,000 deaths in the United States every year. With medical science working constantly to eliminate dangerous sources of error, preserving accurate patient data is essential. Whole slide imaging, also known as virtual microscopy, allows you to…
An American pathologist, Dr. Ronald S. Weinstein introduced digital pathology in 1986. From that time, digital pathology (DP) use has steadily increased. During the coronavirus pandemic, DP allowed pathologists to continue working without interruption. Experts predict the Global Digital Pathology…
