As digital pathology becomes more established, digital transformation becomes essential as many older systems don’t comply with DICOM standards for pathology imaging. With DesAcc, these systems can now be migrated to digital pathology enabled PACS supporting DICOM Whole Slide Imaging (WSI). We also specialize in extracting and converting proprietary pathology file formats as well bulk migration of pathology data to cloud-based environments.
There are two paths that digital pathology systems take:
- Systems where non-WSI data is stored in a proprietary file format, such as Aperio, Hamamatsu, Leica, Philips, or other systems, keeping them as discrete objects in proprietary formats with limited meta-data.
- Systems where Gross Imaging and WSI data is stored directly within Anatomical Pathology Laboratory Information Systems (APLIS), such as Clinisys PowerPath.
We can work with both types of systems, whether they are APLIS-based using proprietary file formats for data storage or are already DICOM WSI. In either case, our Data Continuity Platform can perform an audit, normalize, and convert the data to make it compatible with PACS, VNA, or cloud environments.
