Digital pathology landscape 2016
- 1. 30-12-2015 pag. 1 The landscape for digital pathology anno 2016 Yves Sucaet, PhD Diabetes Research Center
- 2. 30-12-2015 pag. 2 Why this presentation? • Successful roll-out of digital pathology requires more than a whole slide scanner. • Different end-users require customized user interfaces. • Various datastores and image repositories need to integrate. • We wish we would have had this presentation available as we embarked upon our digital pathology adventure though. • It’s worthwhile to map the different stakeholders, and we hope you can now benefit from our experience
