CE marking for digital pathology solution, 12/14

December 2014—Royal Philips announced it has acquired the CE mark for the diagnostic use of its Philips Digital Pathology Solution. European pathologists will now be able to use the full digital solution as an aid in diagnosis for routine pathology, including hematoxylin and eosin, immunohistochemistry, and special stained tissue sections.

By digitizing the images normally viewed through a microscope, Philips’ solution offers high-quality images to enable an objective and quantitative diagnosis. These digital images could also enable new ways to mine information from tumor tissue for further data analysis. Enhanced collaboration capabilities also may speed up consultations and second opinions, which could improve diagnostic confidence.
