Philips Digital Pathology Solutions general manager Russell Granzow said: "Digitisation of pathology offers a new way to tackle some of the growing challenges in the field, like higher cancer rates and the massive quantity of slides generated annually at these sites."
LabPON pathologist Alexi Baidoshvili said: "Transitioning our entire workflow to digital processes demonstrates our commitment to ensuring our patients and clinical colleagues receive the fastest, most effective and best informed diagnoses possible."
Pathology plays a critical role in disease detection, specifically with cancer diagnosis. Digital pathology will offer new ways to extract more information from tissue samples and connect with other diagnostic modalities.
Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution secured CE Mark approval for primary diagnostics in the European Union and Health Canada.
