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