Slide Scanning is carried out at 20x, 40x as per requirement using high resolution objectives to provide high resolution digital images. Scanning of Histopathology, Cytology, Hematology, IHC and TMA slides is carried out.
What is the requirement of Scanning Facility?
- For creation of Departmental Digital slide libraries and for maintenance of permanent digital slide records of patients since cataloging and retrieval of the digital slides is easier as compared to retrieval of glass slide.
- For organising of online conferences and slide seminars, symposia by medical and dental faculty by digitizing cases and hosting them on server for delegates.
- Scanning is also required for conducting EQAS
- For Patients seeking online second opinion on their slides
- Scanning slides of research scientists for AI diagnostics for improvement in healthcare and their other specific projects.
- Digiscan is providing facility for scanning slides for scientific presentations for those who do not have slide scanners.
Departmental Digital slide Libraries and Slide Boxes
- Digital library : Every pathology department has slide boxes of interesting cases, case studies and rare cases for training of residents. Glass slides are stored in the boxes for training. These have the inherent disadvantages of deterioration of quality upon storage and breakage.
- Digital slide boxes and libraries do not have these problems. Residents can make copies of cases and have their personal collections. Residents do not require microscopes to revise their slides.
- Sharing of material by resourceful institutions can create unimaginable wealth of study material which can be instrumental in creating pool of talented pathologists globally.
How are Digital slides superior to glass slides
- Digital slides are a great tool for online teaching
- For conducting slide seminars as there is no need of preparing glass slides in multiples.
- Digital images of the cases are uploaded on the server and participants can view the images before the final discussion of the cases.
- Digital slides area boon for rare cases for which only 1 slide is available or tissue is not sufficient for multiple sectioning.
- One glass slide is sufficient to prepare digital slide which can be duplicated in to thousands of copies. These can be used to teach millions of students online
- Digital images give the freedom of showing different areas under different magnifications. This gives transparency in presentation as there is no bias in area selection by the presenter.
- No physical storage space is required for storage of Digital Slides
- Quality of slides does not deteriorate upon storage and slides are non-breakable.
- More than one Digital slides can be viewed at the monitor screen and images can be compared.
- Digital slides can be annotated to explain the features. Making it easy for teaching and self-study.
- Analytical software’s help in quantitative image
- Microscopes are not required to view the slides. PCs ,laptops and even mobiles are sufficient for learning pathology
- Digital slides are a boon for self study by residents.
- Digital slides can be accessed on-line anytime from anywhere. Digital slides are available 24×7.
