Pathology Scanner SG60

One scanner can scan up to 60 slides per hour for a slide with 15x15mm tissue size. Each scanner has a slide capacity of 300 slides that can be continuously loaded, truly enabling fully automated nonstop scanning. Even if an error is detected it will indicate this to the user but continue scanning the next available slide, enabling high throughput digitization.

Our clinically validated scanner delivers high quality images by using a standardized and fully automated scanning process. Each slide is scanned at the equivalence of 40 times magnification (0.25 um/pixel). This results in sharp high resolution images which are vital for digitizing the primary diagnostic workflow and a key enabler for the use of image analysis algorithms.

All Philips scanners are designed for ‘load and walk away’ operation. Anyone in the lab can load slides into the scanner and then the digitization process will proceed automatically. This automated processing is supported by numerous algorithms for detection of tissue, barcode, and coverslip, as well as continuous auto-focusing algorithms used during scanning.

The multi-site setup is a common approach to creating a virtual network made up of multiple laboratories, allowing you to connect your team with a scalable solution and sharing histology data across an organization. Multiple sites can access each other’s images and exchange cases which enables workload balancing across locations. This enhances your ability to quickly reach specialists and sub-specialists for remote consultations.

IMS offers specialized tools for measurement, annotation, collaboration, and archive management. Review cases quickly using fast slide-to-slide transitions and confer on cases using single-click collaboration connection. Case details are presented with a digital slide tray, which organizes the slides like an analog slide tray. It includes case-related documents, grossing images and case-specific notes. This overview of slides can indicate which slides have been viewed, annotated and if additional slides have been ordered. Access role-based, user-specific case lists along with related patient data and notes.

Our dedicated slide viewer includes a rich set of tools for making annotations and accurate measurements, allowing pathologist to easily navigate tissue. Create a gallery of highlighted tissue features you can return to with the click of a button. Tag slides for follow-up in secondary workflows such as tumor board or panel discussions. Smart workflow algorithms include automatic image alignment, tissue detection, tissue presentation and single-click navigation. Shortcut keys help improve workflow and enhance productivity.

Connect with your colleagues anywhere in the world with our real-time collaboration tool. Share your slide viewing simultaneously in a manner that mimics a multi-headed microscope. Participants share control of the screen including annotation and measurement tools allowing them to collaborate on case analysis.

The Image Management System is your gateway to manage, review and analyze digitized slides. This next-generation software includes tools to optimize your daily caseload management, cases and images navigation and collaboration. Access whole slide images (WSI) in the feature-rich viewer in a streamlined, accessible diagnostic workflow.

IMS makes it possible to easily organize, review, manage and present digital cases. Facilitate organized personal worklists that are arranged and sorted according to your preference. Easily distinguish cases by status and case-related information such as patient name, number of slides per case and tissue type. Find the right case quickly with advanced search and filter functionality.

The backbone of the Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution* is a customizable server and storage configuration that offers management of image repositories, comprehensive LIS interoperability, and tailored network options. This component enables comprehensive integration with your institute’s information systems, creating a network for histology image sharing with features like automatic data management that positively impact laboratory effectiveness.

The SG300 is designed to for medium to large laboratories that are running a traditional workflow with large batches of slides are processed for scanning at a few occasions per day. Offering high image quality, full automation and same first time right rate as the SG60, the SG300 enables high, clinical representative, throughput through it's scan speed, slide handling and non-rectangular ROI optimization. This results in n short turnaround times and a very low total cost of ownership (TCO/slide) as overnight scanning enables high utilization of the SG300.
