Technology excellence
The advantages of medical grade displays over commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) monitors are well-documented: superior image quality due to enhanced contrast, color accuracy and sharpness; prolonged image stability over time; and, the ability to calibrate the screen for optimum and consistent viewing.
Barco's Coronis Fusion 4MP DL diagnostic color display and the MDRC-2124 wide-screen clinical monitor offer these capabilities and more for precise pathology image viewing. Barco's system solution supports effortless and precise panning and zooming on whole slide images. Moreover, the display system includes Barco's MediCal QAWeb, an automated, real-time calibration system that guarantees high image quality and consistency across the screen for the life of the display.
Virtuoso, from Ventana, is a comprehensive, web-based digital pathology image and workflow management software application. From initial slide scanning to complete reporting, Virtuoso software supports multiple users, enabling remote viewing of slide images, online collaboration sessions with other pathologists, and slide sharing of images. Its intuitive user interfaces are customized for the workflow of pathologists, histotechnologists, lab administrators and clinicians, enhancing efficiencies throughout the process.
