Begun the clinical deployment of IHC quantification algorithms as a routine part of the diagnostic workflow.Made possible a new, state-of-the-art, off-campus histology lab.Transitioned the department to digital workflows for primary diagnosis and a multitude of additional use cases.Digitized all primary diagnosis slides.Enabled the first primary diagnosis via WSI in North America on March 8, 2018.Digitized all incoming consult cases back since Autumn 2017.
#Digital pathology archive
Compiled an archive of nearly 2.7 million WSIs representing over 280,000 cases at the Ohio State University dating back to 2011. Approximately 2 minutes later, our first image populated and the Digital Pathology program at Ohio State was live. Ohio State is home to almost 2.7 million WSIs, representing over 280,000 patients, and every imaginable tissue and disease type.ĥ YEARS OF DIGITAL PATHOLOGY at OHIO STATE, May 25, 2022Īt 9:37 AM on Thursday, May 25, we pushed the SCAN button on Philips UFS FMT080. Digital allows our researchers to assemble cohorts more rapidly, inquire of larger volumes of cases, and interrogate specimens more deeply, faster, and more accurately than ever before.Īs a consequence of our endeavors, we manage one of the world’s largest collections of whole slide images (WSI). Our research lab assists scientist with using digital resources and tools to probe the nature, causes, consequences, and treatment of disease in ways never before possible. We work with our partners to develop, test, and implement the tools that will transform pathology in the 21st Century.ĭigital pathology has also enabled our teams to expand our research capabilities. We are proud to also be a leader in deploying quantitative image analysis (QIA), machine learning, and artificial intelligence to produce diagnoses for patients that are dramatically faster, more comprehensive, and more accurate than ever previously possible. The use of digital images allows us to erase time and distance and provide pathology review in real time hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Today, most of our sign-outs are digital.ĭigital allows our pathologists to share their knowledge and skills to help patients around the state and across the globe.
In 2018, Ohio State became the first site in the United States to utilize digital pathology for primary diagnosis. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is home to one of the world’s leading digital pathology programs.ĭaily over 2,400 slides are digitized and made instantly available to our pathologists who use them for primary diagnosis, consultation, education, and research.
