Digital pathology is based on creating a digital replica of the glass slide, called whole slide image (WSI). This image is then viewed in a computer screen, which eliminates the need for using a microscope. Can you imagine working in a glassless environment, with better ergonomics and being able to immediately find the slide you need?
The Benefits of Computational Pathology

The histological assessment of human tissue has emerged as a key challenge for the detection and treatment of cancer. Many tissue sections have to be processed in order to find those that contain cancer, which can be a timely and costly process. Similarly, procedures such as immunohistochemical scoring can be problematic for cases such as ER, PR, and HER2.

“There’s nothing wrong with the microscope.”
“Our Information Systems won’t integrate with other technology.”
“Change is hard.”
These are a couple of the concerns pathologists have about digital pathology. But as they learn more, pathologists are finding that their apprehension about going digital is holding them back from reaping significant benefits. They are also discovering that old methods can’t compete against today’s digital solutions.
