What is Digital Pathology?
Digital pathology is the process of converting traditional glass microscope slides into high-resolution digital images that can be viewed, analyzed, and shared electronically. This transformation enables pathologists to examine tissue samples on a computer screen using specialized software, rather than relying solely on a microscope.
By digitizing slides, laboratories gain the ability to streamline workflows, improve diagnostic accuracy, and enable remote collaboration. Digital pathology also supports the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, which can assist in image analysis, pattern recognition, and decision support—helping labs manage increasing workloads with greater efficiency.
For multi-site organizations and enterprise-level labs, digital pathology is a key enabler of centralized operations. It allows for seamless case sharing between locations, faster second opinions, and more consistent quality across the network. It also enhances educational and research capabilities by making pathology data more accessible and easier to archive.
Orchard Enterprise Pathology is designed to support this digital transformation. With integration capabilities for digital slide scanners, image viewers, and AI platforms, Orchard helps labs modernize their pathology services while maintaining compliance, security, and interoperability.
