The Best of Digital Pathology in 2017
Posted 11th December 2017 by Jane Williams
It is that time of the year to celebrate the most significant breakthroughs and accomplishments in the field of digital pathology. 2017 has been an exciting year with Philips receiving FDA approval to market their IntelliSite Pathology Solution for primary diagnostic use in the US. According to Russ Granzow, General Manager of Philips Digital Pathology Solutions, ‘not only will it promote increased efficiencies and collaboration between pathologists, but it also opens a completely new dimension towards computational pathology which aims to increase accuracies and ultimately enhance patient care.’ This is a huge step forward in the advancement of digital pathology.
2017 has also seen the progression of whole slide imaging devices which is said to revolutionise the profession and the expansion of artificial intelligence. Check out the most talked about blogs and the exciting breakthroughs this year.
