Integrated radiology and pathology leads to improved cancer diagnosis
The sharing of clinical information and images between radiology and pathology, also called integrated diagnostics, is frequently mentioned as an opportunity to improve cancer diagnosis. However, the realisation of increased collaboration between the disciplines has been slow, as pathology diagnosis has lagged in digitisation. This has made information hard to share in an efficient way.
Digital pathology has become more affordable and widely accepted within pathology in recent years.
This opens up opportunuties for increased collaboration between pathology and radiology, turning integrated diagnostics into a top priority on many hospitals’ management agendas.
Based on the pathologists’ experience, 20 years in the medical IT field, and having been a pioneer in the digitisation of radiology, Sectra has developed the concept of digital pathology.
Our next generation solution guarantees full case overview, including integration with other image systems. This enables access to, for example, radiology or dermatology data and images in the same workstation.
