With the advancement in personalised medicine and surge in the number of cancer cases, the complexity of pathology diagnostics has increased, Philips noted.
By utilising advanced imaging analysis and workflow software, pathologists can quickly diagnose digital images of tissue samples, ultimately increasing the speed and accuracy of cancer diagnostics.
Philips’s digital pathology solutions are in use at various pathology laboratories, replacing the standard glass slide-based system.
Digital images enable the pathologists to detect and localise prostate cancer using the CE marked Paige Prostate software, offering the pathologists data, which they can apply during the assessment of prostate biopsies.
