Today, most hospital workflows rely on a decades-old process: extracting a tissue sample, preparing it on a glass slide, and having a pathologist examine it under a microscope. To facilitate diagnosis, either the slides or the pathologist must often travel long distances—an approach that is inefficient, costly, and stressful.
Today, most hospital workflows rely on a decades-old process: extracting a tissue sample, preparing it on a glass slide, and having a pathologist examine it under a microscope. To facilitate diagnosis, either the slides or the pathologist must often travel long distances—an approach that is inefficient, costly, and stressful.
Digital pathology is changing this paradigm by leveraging high-resolution imaging technology to digitize slides. With the click of a button, these images can be analyzed, shared, and stored securely. By eliminating the need for physical slide transportation, digital pathology saves time, reduces costs, and allows pathologists to process more cases in a day.
Consider the critical moments in surgery, where pathologists have just 20 minutes to diagnose a sample before the patient is closed up. In traditional workflows, the absence of an on-site pathologist can lead to delays or even missed diagnoses. Digital pathology enables rapid scanning, remote consultations, and second opinions, ensuring accurate, timely decisions—benefiting patients worldwide.
This transformation democratizes access to professional pathology, making expert diagnostics accessible regardless of geography. Discover how Grundium’s advanced digital pathology solutions are helping laboratories achieve faster, more accurate results.
