Technology Developments to Drive the Global Digital Pathology Systems Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 12, 2015 -- Follow us on LinkedIn – Digital pathology broadly refers to application of digital information technologies to support pathology research and practice. A dynamic, image-driven model, digital pathology helps pathologists, histology personnel and laboratory managers to acquire, manage and interpret pathology-related information derived from digitized glass slides of specimens or tissue samples. Digital pathology systems are witnessing growth in adoption in various end-use applications such as diagnostic tests, drug discovery & development, education & training, and academic research in human pathology, veterinary pathology, oral pathology and forensic pathology. Major factors driving growth in demand include inherent benefits offered such as enhanced workflow efficiency, reduced costs of operating pathological processes, quicker acquisition of high resolution images, and faster and accurate diagnosis.
In addition, the need for compliance with regulatory standards related to information management, improving efficiency in drug development, emergence of companion diagnostics and benefits offered in the field of cancer diagnosis are also driving growth. Benefits such as the ability to share pathology cases among colleagues with ease, enable quick consultation with specialists, and allow quick access to archived digital pathology information are driving interest and adoption of digital pathology across clinical labs worldwide. Demand is also being driven by scarcity of skilled pathologists and excess workloads on pathology teams in research labs and hospitals.
Technological advances are playing a pivotal role in encouraging adoption of digital pathology systems. Development in digital imaging techniques and improvements in system processing speeds, are driving demand. Significant advances have been achieved in the area of slide scanners, including improvement in scanner throughput. Developments are also afoot in the area of software, which is becoming progressively less complex.
