Digital Frozen Sections in Surgical Pathology Practice: Issues and Challenges

Description

Digital pathology still isn’t counted among standard methods in many laboratories. Applying digital pathology to frozen sections is often its first use case because of its lower bar for entry, and most institutions see an immediate benefit. But if pathologists aren’t familiar with the technology, where should they start? 

Join us for this webinar covering digital frozen sections for surgical pathology practice, including the issues, the challenges of using the currently available options, and the benefits of using digital frozen sections for intraoperative evaluation in standard surgical pathology practices. Three speakers will give a brief presentation covering their experiences, followed by a panel discussion to address audience questions.

Objectives

• To learn about different digital pathology options for intraoperative evaluation of frozen sections in surgical pathology practice.
• To understand the factors to consider when selecting a platform for digital frozen sections.
• To recognize the issues and challenges related to the use of digital frozen sections.
