Lexington, MA – October 1, 2025 – FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a leading provider of diagnostic and enterprise imaging solutions, and PRECIDX, a healthcare data optimization company, have partnered to integrate Fujifilm’s Synapse® Pathology solution with the PRECIDX Optimization Platform (POP) to reduce digital pathology file storage by an unprecedented 85%[1]contributing to lower storage costs for providers, improved workflow, and expanded access to critical data.

Reducing file storage size in digital pathology is important for cutting costs, improving workflow efficiency, and expanding access to critical patient data. Whole-slide images are enormous, with a single high-resolution image often ranging from 2 to 4 gigabytes[2]—the size of a high-definition movie. With large laboratories producing thousands of these images daily, the accumulated data volume quickly reaches petabytes, creating significant challenges.

The integration of Fujifilm’s Synapse Pathology solution with POP is designed to combat this challenge. Synapse Pathology is a comprehensive pathology PACS solution that streamlines case management through proprietary advances in image digitization to accelerate case turnaround time. Synapse Pathology delivers digital images for diagnosis 1.99 hours faster[3] than glass slides. POP is a dynamic software solution designed to make healthcare data ecosystems, particularly large medical images, more manageable, scalable, and affordable. The platform can significantly reduce the file size of large digital pathology images by up to 85% without losing diagnostic quality, transfer files up to 10 times faster, and standardize data for interoperability. Together, the combined technologies are designed to optimize unstructured data, enabling better interoperability, faster performance, and reduced storage costs for enterprise imaging in healthcare and research.
“The benefits of digital pathology are numerous – including increased efficiency, speedier diagnoses and enhanced remote access. However, the high storage costs of digital slides remain one of the major challenges for providers who have transitioned to digital as well as a barrier to adoption for others,” said Dr. Mark Lloyd, vice president of digital pathology, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. “We’re elated to partner with PRECIDX, an innovator in the data optimization space, to address this concern with a robust technological advancement. Our joint technology solution offers a major opportunity to make digital pathology far more feasible for health systems that need to be conscious of the total cost of ownership of a digital pathology system.”
