DIGITAL PATHOLOGY

Digital pathology is the practice of using digital imaging in pathology. Consolidates the management, obtaining, sharing, and interpretation of pathology information in a digital environment. An image viewer works comparatively to the conventional standard light, where magnifying lens empowering pathologists to move slides around similarly. It permits digitization of the whole glass slides, thereby eliminating the need to locally tethered a conventional microscope to practice pathology.

Digital pathology aims to take advantage of technology to speed up, upgrade and enhance workflow in a pathology laboratory. as well as using advanced digital scanners to capture digital slides then store, analyze, and share them with others. Albeit the basic functionality has not changed drastically, digital pathology has brought about amazing advancements for pathology lab efficiency, workflow, and income improvements.

Digital Pathology does not purpose to let the computer assume the role of the pathologist. The practice of digital pathology saves time on tasks, such as inspecting glass slides and analyzing tissue samples straightforwardly from the slide. This saved valuable time can be used for correct diagnostic purposes.

Other advantages for using digital pathology include the possibility for more active production planning, allowing staff and managers to keep track of how many specimens are in the system, wherein the production chain they are, whether time limits are being kept, etc. Digitized images also eliminate the need to go to the glass archive when looking for a previously prepared slide. Besides, while glass slides can be broken or lost, a digital image will always be stored in the correct place and thus be easily found.

While the benefits of digital pathology are evident, the challenges are not insignificant. To grow digital pathology requires infrastructure including IT systems, staffing, and training a cohort of pathologists to be experts in digital pathology, in addition to the logistical challenges of setting up digital pathology services within the diagnostic laboratory. Therefore we have developed a significant level procedure for the execution of indicative advanced pathology in Saudi Arabia.

Now it is time to realize the capability of digital pathology. By calling for more investments in this innovation.
