![]() ![]() The WSI device hardware itself has advanced through multiple generations since the introduction of the first virtual microscopes more than 20 years ago. From the rise of telepathology (1980s) to the advent of WSI (2000s) and its pairing with artificial intelligence and machine-learning algorithms (late 2010s), DP has quickly become a central focus to AP laboratories. Although DP solutions have been used with particular fervor throughout the pandemic, these tools have been progressively garnering merit in the practice of pathology since their inception in the 1970s. Global disruption of routine anatomic pathology (AP) procedures in clinical and academic settings ignited deeper exploration into the role of DP as a “safeguard to clinical services and pathology-based research,” as well as the expanded employment of WSI as an educational tool. The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic brought forth renewed insights into the widespread applicability of digital pathology (DP) solutions, namely that of whole slide imaging (WSI) systems. This analysis of assorted modern WSI devices offers essential, valuable information for successfully selecting and implementing a digital WSI solution for any given pathology practice. Components such as objective lens type and magnification, scanning camera, illumination, and slide capacity were evaluated with respect to scan time, throughput, accuracy of scanning, and image quality. This review focuses on integral hardware components of 43 market available and soon-to-be released digital WSI devices utilized throughout the world. Contemporary whole slide imaging (WSI) devices include technological advances that help address some of the challenges facing modern pathology, such as increasing workloads with fewer subspecialized pathologists, expanding integrated delivery networks with global reach, and greater customization when working up cases for precision medicine. The role-based portals ensure that histotechnologists, pathologists, lab administrators, and clinicians have their individual workflow needs addressed.Digital pathology (DP) has disrupted the practice of traditional pathology, including applications in education, research, and clinical practice. Virtuoso software orchestrates the laboratory workflow around the digital slide, from the moment the slide is scanned to the time results are reported. The Virtuoso software’s comprehensive feature set enables users to seamlessly incorporate digital pathology with their anatomic pathology workflow. Virtuoso software combines rich functionality with a user-friendly interface to deliver a complete digital pathology solution from image management to customized reporting. The Virtuoso image management software is part of a complete solution that encompasses slide scanners, software, reagents, and stainers to assist the pathologists in providing the best results for the patients. Auto-turret supports scanning with 4 objectives.Compact slide scanner with 160 slide capacity.The scanner can be fully integrated with the VENTANA Virtuoso image management software to provide users with a comprehensive digital pathology solution to support image acquisition, image management, image analysis, and customized reporting. The scanner is packaged with advanced image viewing software offering pathologists and histotechnologists the ability to view and annotate digital images of scanned slides. The iScan Coreo scanner provides high speed slide scanning, improved image quality, and advanced slide handling. The VENTANA iScan Coreo scanner serves as the springboard for a total digital pathology environment in your anatomic pathology lab. The iScan Coreo slide scanner offers unprecedented flexibility and performance for the anatomic pathology laboratory SEPA is proud to announce that we have signed a contract to bring iScan Coreo into service at our central laboratory in Brunswick GA. This highlights our commitment to bring 21st Century telepathology technology to the communities we serve. ![]()
