KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• The transition from whole slide to digital pathology is a pivotal evolution in the field.
• Sectra’s digital pathology solution facilitates the expansion of digital imaging across disciplines and reduces reliance on USB devices.
• The adoption of Sectra’s platform allows for scanner upgrades, resulting in a notable enhancement in image quality.
• The ability to expand their virtual program enables the QAP to extend its services to remote regions, bridging gaps in access to pathologists and ultimately enhancing education and patient care.
• While the cloud offers many benefits for digital pathology, the decision to adopt cloud technology varies for each organization and should be tailored to their unique needs.
