Pathology education is enrichedDigital solutions are “the way forward” in training and building competency

“Students at slide seminars say there has been good resolution of images, no delay, and no problems with clarity or quality. They are able to view the images quickly in order to make a clear diagnosis.”– Dr. Vidya Sudheer, Consultant Pathologist

Aligns with student and junior staff expectations for a digital future…

Digital pathology enables quality measuresLab finds “excellent concordance” between software scoring and manual scoring

“We have seen excellent concordance between Virtuoso software scoring and manual scoring for HER2/neu reporting. And we are able to clearly and definitely identify ink margins and give measurements on tumor margins, so that is another major advantage that Virtuoso software image reporting has given us.”– Dr. Preethi Chari, Consultant Pathologist
