Pathology Is Going Digital: Lessons from Early Adopter

Sponsored by Pure Storage

Five years ago, two key takeaways from a survey of their pathologists sent NorthShore University HealthSystem toward the front lines of a technological revolution: digital pathology.

The team almost unanimously agreed that, first, it was time to consider AI as an aid to microscopic tissue analysis. And second, 73% wanted the flexibility to work remotely at another site or at home, at least sometimes, via telepathology.

The Path to Digital Pathology: 3 Obstacles, 3 Opportunities

Sponsored by Pure Storage

It was about 2000 when Yale pathologist John Sinard, MD, PhD, first heard the prediction. “In five years, we won’t be using microscopes,” a respected peer quipped. “We’ll be examining all our slides as digitized images on computer monitors.”

Nearly a quarter-century later, Sinard reports: “I’m at my workstation, and my microscope is sitting right here next to me.”

15 years into digital pathology, Memorial Sloan Kettering offers questions to ask, data to learn from

Sponsored by Pure Storage

With more than 7 million digitized slides on hand, the pathology department at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City represents one of the largest repositories of whole slide images in the world. It’s no surprise the library is so large, as it’s been accruing new images since 2008. And with total case volumes exceeding one million slide reads per year, the inventory continues to grow at that scale.

Enterprise imaging: The now and future king of medical image management

Sponsored by Canon Medical Healthcare IT

As recently as three to five years ago, clinicians diagnosing disorders could not afford to dismiss the possible presence of “stumble-across” imaging studies.

Don’t confuse the term with incidental findings. These are anatomic abnormalities that pop up in imaging exams looking for something else. By contrast, stumble-across imaging is typically a prior exam that’s relevant to care but hidden from view. The only way a clinician can find it is to stumble across it.
