What is digital pathology?

Digital pathology, also referred to as whole slide imaging, is a sub-field of pathology, in which tissue specimens are digitized with a scanner before being examined. The slide review phase of the pathology process happens in a digital way using a display and viewing software, in addition to or in combination with a microscope.

A new technology in a mature field

Digital pathology is sweeping the globe. It adds the convenience of high-resolution displays, sophisticated software, and digital archives to the mature histopathology process. You can quickly transport digital images over computer networks, to bring the best people and the best images together and improve patient care.

The challenges of a digital workflow

As a pathologist, you’re standing at the crossroads of a slow but steady digital evolution in your field of expertise. That comes with its challenges too, of course. How do you start transitioning to a digital workflow? How do you handle large volumes of digitized slides? What new technologies are important to keep in mind?

Ultimate slide to eye confidence

At Barco, we keep our finger on the pulse for you. Backed by decades of experience in digital medical imaging, we’re developing solutions that contribute to whole slide imaging.
