Bringing Digital Pathology to Life
Digital Pathology—Transforming Pathology EducationAs many institutions have found, Aperio's digital pathology solutions are a perfect fit for a multitude of pathology and histology educational tasks, including classroom teaching, decision support, digital slide conferencing, proficiency testing, and quality assurance. > See Aperio's offerings for digital pathology for education
Classroom Teaching: Medical, dental, and veterinary educators use digital pathology as a means to overcoming the shortcomings of traditional glass slide teaching sets and practices. Benefits include:
Decision Support: Turn a collection of glass slides into a decision support repository, accessible anywhere, anytime. Annotate digital slides to highlight regions of note or add commentary. Use intelligent data retrieval to pull just the digital slides you need, based on whatever criteria or attributes you desire. View slides in context, alongside related information, which will facilitate self-teaching and decrease the time required by pathologists to research complex pathology cases. Digital Slide Conferencing: Create a live, interactive environment for educational conferences and collaboration sessions, where multiple parties in multiple locations can navigate a digital slide and every party sees the same portion of the digital slide, in synchrony. Annotations and standard conferencing capabilities further enhance the experience. To enable more in-depth discussions, digital slides can be made available in advance of the meeting so that participants can pre-review materials and prepare questions in advance. > more on conferencing Proficiency Testing: Digital pathology can help administrators develop highly efficient and cost-effective proficiency testing, with increased convenience for test takers. It is an effective means for distributing testing materials, including rare cases or samples of tissue that do not lend themselves to large-scale slide production. Quality Assurance: Digital pathology streamlines the quality assurance process, by making digital slides readily available for QA review, without having to package and ship glass slides. Digital slides can be truly blinded, concealing the original diagnosis and the identity of the pathology who signed off on the report, enabling read-overs that are potentially free from bias.
