Restricted Capacity for Slide Storage Many hospitals are limited in the amount of physical space available for storing slides, while budgetary constraints prove to be a barrier in expanding their storage footprint. Furthermore, rare and precious slides may break or get lost over time. Digitizing slides alleviates these issues. Even so, data storage [...]
Accessing Specialists’ Expertise – Any Time, Any Where Between 2015 to 2030, it is anticipated there will be a 20% decline in full-time pathologists. This not only impacts rural or remote areas which already lack specialized pathologists, but will also impact urban centers as well. Panoptiq™ is a cost-effective solution that may be [...]
What is Panoptiq™? Panoptiq™ is a dynamic software solution that transforms the traditional light microscope into a slide digitization tool. While a user examines a specimen on a glass slide under the microscope, the Panoptiq™ software digitally stitches multiple fields of view into a single panoramic view in real-time. This dynamic image can capture [...]
ViewsIQ has earned Frost & Sullivan’s 2019 Customer Value Leadership Award Frost & Sullivan’s industry benchmarking research finds ViewsIQ best positioned to offer digital pathology solutions through its dynamic microscope‐based scanning software, Panoptiq™, across hospitals, academic institutions, and research laboratories globally. For the Customer Value Leadership Award, Frost & Sullivan analysts independently evaluated [...]
Advantage of Z-stacking for teleconsultation between the USA and Colombia A new study published in Diagnostic Cytopathology (see link) compared diagnostic concordance, image quality, and usefulness of Z-stacking of fine needle aspiration smears between whole slide imaging and Panoptiq™. Pathologists rated image quality from whole slide imaging at 8.3 versus 8.7 for those [...]
Online Experimental study of breast FNA consultation using Panoptiq™ Many cytopathologists hesitate to ask for inter-institutional consultation via the shipping of glass slides for fear of losing them due to an accident.Compounding this is the fact that collection and preparation of cytology samples for diagnosis is difficult, and most digital imaging solutions, being limited [...]
A small-scale experimental study of breast FNA consultation on the internet using Panoptiq™ A new study published earlier this year on the use of Panoptiq™ for cytopathology clinical consultation. The study found that one of the greatest advantages of cytopathology consultation using digital technology is to collect opinions from multiple consultants in the shortest [...]
Feasibility of Using the Panoptiq™ Imaging System for Telemicrobiology Publication by Daniel D. Rhoads, Ishtiaque Ahmed, Liron Pantanowitz Telemicrobiology is challenging because of the high magnification and fine resolution required to identify microorganisms. This study evaluates twenty challenging microbiology cases that were digitally captured by Panoptiq™ at multiple objectives. Read more here. [...]
Panoramic Digital Images (Panoptiq™) for Cytopathology Screening and Interpretation A publication by Liron Pantanowitz, Jacqueline Cuda, Juan Xing, Ishtiaque Ahmed, Anil Parwani, Sara Monaco Whole slide imaging in cytology is limited when glass slides are scanned without z-stacks for focusing. The Panoptiq™ imaging system is a novel technology that allows users to create digital [...]
Why Panoptiq™ is Useful for Frozen Sections Theoretically speaking if we ask ourselves what would make the you know a good system for frozen section diagnosis in today's laboratory setting. Efficient image acquisition is necessary since the patient is on the surgery table as they're undergoing anesthesia and there're also often times multiple [...]
