Know About Digital Pathology

Best Pathology in Lucknow shares an importnat blog about Digital Pathology , its importance and applications :

Until the advent of this technology, histological slides and photographs the primary ways images seen under a microscope lens could be shared with others but now Digital Pathology eliminates some of the issues associated with sharing slides such as the degradation of samples and inability to share samples.Not only this but also in addition to preserving quality, specimen images can be transferred to colleagues in a timely fashion. Digital pathology is changing the face of medical services for the people. It breaks the geographical barriers and brings experts together in the virtual world even though they are oceans apart and need strong expensive logistics to bridge that distance. For rural areas this can open a new window as they will get access to experts sitting anywhere in the world

In other words we can say that Digital Pathology extends the limits of microscopy, enabling students, educators, researchers, and clinicians to share tissue samples. Images sent or shared over the Internet or through specific analysis software open the path to a new and exciting microscopy tool ensuring optimal patient treatment.This is very useful for chronic and recurring diseases e.g. cancer.
 It lends algorithmic objectivity to numerous tests that were otherwise subjective by nature and through image analysis software quantification is possible which can be monitored before and after treatment.
Best Pathology in Jankipuram says that Pathology services in the near future will provide digitally-enabled services as the norm to provide primary diagnosis of disease, facilitate personalized medicine where therapies are tailored to the individual, extract and analyse data to understand the links between tests and treatments, and to maximize outcomes. It will also empower people to manage their own health through access to electronic health records.It will also help the pathologist’s access prior data and data from a spectrum of different data sites quickly.

Digital Pathology's digitized slides can reduce turnaround times, improve communication between physicians, and are well-suited to computer-aided detection, similar to the technology widely used in mammography.

Digital pathology systems have been used for primary diagnosis in Europe for several years. Now it can bring major changes in Indian market too.
Digital pathology is a dynamic, image-based environment that enables the acquisition, management and interpretation of pathology information generated from a digitized glass slide. Healthcare applications include primary diagnosis, diagnostic consultation, , manual and semi-quantitative review of immunohistochemistry (IHC), clinical research, diagnostic decision support, peer review, and tumor boards.
