Digital Pathology Services
Creating state-of-the-art digital processes for enhanced patient case
Services for high volume scanning capability and professional program development
In spite of rapid developments in medical technology, the fundamental inefficiencies of glass slides remain, including handling/ transfer, and limited scalability. In addition, as the workload increases, the pool of active pathologists shrinks. Digital pathology is the solution to these issues
Philips Digital Pathology Services incorporate sophisticated imaging and management technology for rapid evidence-based decisions and the professional support services necessary to achieve operational excellence.

Why digitize ?
A digitized specimen has the potential to open new opportunities for increased efficiency and a reduction in the shortcomings of a traditional analog histopathology workflow. A digitized specimen does not break, get lost, cost time and money to ship, or require significant physical storage space. It can be shared remotely for quick collaboration and archived/accessed at a moment’s notice. Pathologists can organize and review a large number of cases with ease
