Pathology Is Going Digital: Lessons from Early Adopter
Five years ago, two key takeaways from a survey of their pathologists sent NorthShore University HealthSystem toward the front lines of a technological revolution: digital pathology.
The team almost unanimously agreed that, first, it was time to consider AI as an aid to microscopic tissue analysis. And second, 73% wanted the flexibility to work remotely at another site or at home, at least sometimes, via telepathology.
The Path to Digital Pathology: 3 Obstacles, 3 Opportunities
It was about 2000 when Yale pathologist John Sinard, MD, PhD, first heard the prediction. “In five years, we won’t be using microscopes,” a respected peer quipped. “We’ll be examining all our slides as digitized images on computer monitors.”
Nearly a quarter-century later, Sinard reports: “I’m at my workstation, and my microscope is sitting right here next to me.”
15 years into digital pathology, Memorial Sloan Kettering offers questions to ask, data to learn from
With more than 7 million digitized slides on hand, the pathology department at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City represents one of the largest repositories of whole slide images in the world. It’s no surprise the library is so large, as it’s been accruing new images since 2008. And with total case volumes exceeding one million slide reads per year, the inventory continues to grow at that scale.
3 Steps to Managing a Growing Radiology Practice
Listen in to see how Wake Radiology UNC Rex, a leading imaging group in the 4^th fastest growing metro area in the U.S., boosted their speed and infrastructure to take care of more patients. Radiologists are happier, IT is too—and so was the board that saved money. Learn how they did it – and grab some tips for your next IT project.
Managing Imaging Volume Overload and Controlling Cost
Radiology Associates of Venice and Englewood (RaVE) needed a storage-re up to support huge growth in imaging exams and image volume per exam, a growing and graying patient base and their remote and onsite radiologists having access to all images instantly. Here’s how they did it—and had the solution installed in less than a week.

ML’s Role in Building Confidence and Value in Breast Imaging

Countless predictions have been made about artificial intelligence and machine learning changing imaging screening and diagnosis at the point of patient care—and clinical studies and experience are now proving it. Radiologists say the impact is real in improving diagnosis of cancers and quality of care, consistency among readers and reducing read times and unnecessary biopsies. One shining example targets the evaluation of breast ultrasound imaging.

Will ‘Smart’ Solutions Really Transform Cardiology?

Smart technologies are often touted as the answer to some of cardiology’s greatest challenges in patient care and practice. But where does hyperbole end and reality begin with artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning?
