How to choose the right pathology scanner?
Release time:Release time:2024 - 05 - 15
The imaging method of medical pathology images is called Whole Slide Scanning (WSS) is the use of autofocus and automatic white balance technology, digital microscopy equipment can biological samples and tissue cells of details with high color reproduction and high resolution, and generate large-capacity digital files. A digital slice consists of hundreds of millions of image pixels, each of which contains XY coordinate position information, color information, and grayscale information.
Usually, digital slices are organized in a pyramid structure, where the upper layers of the pyramid have smaller magnification, and each layer is compressed from the data of the bottom layer by efficient algorithms.
After the FDA approved WSI for use in primary surgical pathology diagnosis, it has been more widely used in daily practice.
WSI can replace traditional physical slides and become an important tool for pathologists in diagnostic pathology, teaching and research work. The advantages of digitized images of whole sections include convenience, efficiency and accuracy, digital storage and management, and ease of sharing and remote communication.
1、Identify your functional requirements
There are many types of pathology slide scanners on the market today, and each offers different performance and functionality beyond the basic digital slide imaging capabilities.
Therefore, it is important to first define what your needs are and what specific features should be included?
2、Is it easy to operate?
The Digital Pathology Scanner is a new device for users to learn how to use, and ergonomics and ease of use are critical for users.
Test the user interface to see if it is intuitive and easy to navigate. Understand the learning paths involved in different operations.
How long does it take to set up a batch of slices for scanning? Can the settings be customized? For example, different settings for different slices.
Does the scanner have automatic tissue area recognition? Does it miss or does it recognize all tissues?
How do I view the images after scanning?
3、Does it fit into your existing environmental infrastructure?
Ensure that the digital pathology scanner installs as easily as possible into your existing lab infrastructure, minimizing disruption to your lab's workflow.
●How much desktop space does the scanner need to take up? Where does it fit in the lab?
●Does the scanner make a lot of noise during operation?
●Does the scanner vendor offer integration with your lab's LIS?
