Navigating the Maze of Pathology Scanners
At its core, digital pathology involves converting glass slides into digital images that can be viewed and analyzed using computer software. This process offers numerous advantages over traditional microscopy, including the ability to share and collaborate on images remotely, analyze large datasets, and improve diagnostic accuracy. However, one of the key challenges in digital pathology is choosing the right scanner to capture high-quality digital images of tissue specimens. With so many options available on the market, finding the right scanner for your lab can be a daunting task. This requires careful consideration of factors such as purpose, throughput, resolution, compatibility, cost, and support and maintenance. PathPixel is here to help you choose a scanner that meets your specific requirements and supports your digital pathology efforts.
