The current state of digital pathology

From fully digitized workflows to the implementation of AI in clinical practice, this episode highlights the incredible progress made in the digital transformation journey and the opportunities that lie ahead. 

Host Elin Kindberg, General Manager for Sectra’s pathology solution, is joined by Professor Anne Vincent-Salomon, MD  Director of the Institute of Women’s Cancer by the Institut CURIE, and Head of the Pathology Department at Institut CURIE in France.

Together, they discuss how digital pathology has redefined diagnostic workflows at one of the world’s leading institution. As they meet, they look into Institut Curie’s transformation from initial adoption to using advanced technologies, including cytology, fluorescence, and AI-enabled tools.

This episode also touch upon how Sectra’s diagnostic application has evolved, now offering tailored worklists, fast image navigation, and workflows orchestrated from a single interface.
