Bringing Digital Pathology to Life

Improve the quality and efficiency of your pathology services

It is not enough to merely be able to capture a digital slide image. To truly take advantage of all that digital pathology has to offer, you need integrated viewing and management of digital slides within a workflow that makes sense for your organization. You need Spectrum Plus, Aperio's advanced operating system. Fully integrated with Aperio’s ScanScope systems and ImageScope viewing software, Spectrum Plus brings digital pathology to life.

Spectrum Plus is the most comprehensive, web-based digital pathology information management software developed for digital slide viewing and conferencing, workflow management, data archival, intelligent retrieval, and image analysis. Its applications include drug discovery, cancer research, telepathology, peer review, and secondary consultation.*

Spectrum Plus offers pathologists and scientists the ability to

• Save time and money by providing remote access to digital images organized in a web based database rather than shipping glass slides between sites or looking for images and data stored in separate locations.
• Improve quality of their digital pathology data by organizing and correlating digital slide images, gross images and associated data.
• Improve digital pathology workflow, accuracy, and efficiency by automating data entry through the use of barcoded slides, and interfacing to laboratory information systems.
• Improve compliance to regulatory laws that protect privacy and data integrity by restricting access to digital images and data by providing users with passwords and data groups and encrypting data that is sent via the internet.
• Improve digital microscopic image review and analysis by providing whole slide digital images and enabling the user to view multiple images simultaneously.
• Increase image analysis throughput with batch image analysis.
• Foster collaborative interpretation and peer review with digital slide conferencing capabilities, and increase efficiency of QA by providing on-line image quality review.
• Augment intelligent data retrieval of images using user-defined search criteria.

Basic Spectrum software functionality, such as standard viewing and editing of digital slides, and a web-based relational database for digital slide conferencing and searching, is included with all ScanScope scanners. Spectrum is readily upgradeable to Spectrum Plus, for more advanced capabilities such as multi-user, multi-site deployments, advanced security, and integration into laboratory workflow.
