Digital Pathology
Digital pathology is a dynamic, image-based environment that enables the acquisition, management and interpretation of pathology information generated from a digitized glass slide. This technology reduces laboratory costs, improves operational efficiency, enhances productivity, improves treatment decisions, and patient care.
This service has supported a number of research and clinical applications such as immunohistochemistry quantification in breast cancer predictive markers; consultations enabling surgeons and pathologists to perform real-time intra-operative consultations, interpretation and diagnosis.
