BioImagene has announced that it will equip the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) with a complete suite of digital pathology solutions to streamline laboratory workflow.
DHMC will use Iscan Coreo Au slide scanner and Virtuoso digital pathology application software to enhance the pathology department's educational and residency programmes.
Arief A Suriawinata, section chief, anatomic pathology at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, said: 'The quality of images and the speed of whole slide scanning have improved to the point where they now have a positive impact on workflow efficiencies in the lab.
'We encourage our pathologists to stay current with this advancing technology and utilise it for applications that were not possible using the microscope, such as creating digital archives, remotely reviewing cases, peer-to-peer collaboration on difficult cases and many more,' he added.
The Iscan Coreo Au is a bright-field slide scanner that allows walk-away scanning of up to 160 slides.
It includes several other features including an automated turret with multiple objectives, volume scan (zstacked) images with multiple planes, and Iscan Coreo Au Live, an application supporting remote microscopy and collaboration.
BioImagene's Virtuoso digital pathology application software works with BioImagene's Iscan range of slide scanners to provide an end-to-end workflow solution.
Some of the features in Virtuoso include fastest image viewing experience, work-list management and real-time collaboration between users.
Robin Weisburger, manager, anatomic pathology, said: 'By reducing glass slide logistics, digital pathology will improve the manner by which we collaborate with the various community practices.
'In addition, the technology will assist in the analysis of immunohistochemistry tests, which will aid in consistently accurate diagnoses,' he added.
