SUCCESS STORIES

Aperio has over 500 systems placed in 32 countries, in support of a wide variety of applications. See how our customers are using digital pathology and view some of their digital slides in action.

SecondSlide™ Streamlines the Consultation Process, Improves Turnaround Time

Challenges: Turnaround time for consultations can be extremely slow - requiring days or even weeks for the transport of glass slides - particularly in cases where the consulting pathologist lives in another country and slides are held up in customs.
Solution: SecondSlide™ digital slide sharing service was utilized, making it easy to share digital slides regardless of location, streamlining the consultation process and improving the experience for pathologists.

Digital Pathology in Latin American Teaching

Challenge: Traditional microscope-based teaching methods were inefficient, inconsistent, and costly. 
Solution: Spectrum Education™  was employed as an adjunct to traditional teaching methods, thereby making slide sets among students consistent, saving the time required for microscope management, and reducing the expense of microscope maintenance.

Digital Pathology in a Web-based System to Study Renal Disease in Animals Worldwide

Challenge: To improve standards for diagnosis of renal diseases in animals by integrating pathologic findings from histologic, ultrastructural, and immunostaining examinations with clinical information in a way that aids collecting, analyzing, and sharing information.
Solution: Combine digital pathology imagery using Aperio ScanScope® and Spectrum™ Plus system with Prelude Dynamics' Vision software, designed for electronic data capture in clinical trials. The result is an integrated web-based system that provides an innovative and efficient solution that is extensible, accessible, and affordable.
