Leading pathologists and industry thought leaders will converge in San Diego, Oct. 8-10, for an information-packed conference, focused on advancing the field of digital pathology
SAN DIEGO, CA– September 6, 2006 –Aperio Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of digital pathology systems and services to the healthcare IT industry, announces that it will host its second annual Pathology Visions North America Conference, Oct. 8-10, 2006 in San Diego, California, at the Hilton San Diego Resort in Mission Bay. More than 120 pathologists and industry thought leaders are expected to attend this event which is focused on advancing the field of digital pathology, a digital environment for the management and interpretation of pathology information that originates with a digital slide.
"Digital pathology is becoming an increasingly important and valuable tool for pathologists around the world," explained Dirk Soenksen, founder and CEO of Aperio. "We've tailored Pathology Visions to be a gathering place for thought leaders to network and share how they are adopting digital pathology and virtual microscopy into their pathology practices. These meetings help shape and drive innovations in this exciting field. Last year's meeting was extremely well received and we expect this year's event to be even better."
Pathology Visions provides an interactive and educational forum for academic and practicing pathologists, researchers, laboratory administrators, pathology technologists, and healthcare administrators to advance their understanding of how to manage pathology information in a digital environment, and the everyday benefits of applying digital pathology to their practices. The theme for this year's Pathology Visions conference is Empowering Pathology with Better Information, which focuses on the road to adopting digital pathology, including applications, integration, and a look into the future of this transforming technology.
The conference's agenda will include industry topics, product sessions, and thought-provoking customer presentations on key topics, such as: education; remote viewing & telepathology; image analysis; IT & data management; and archival and retrieval. A number of practicing pathologists and industry experts are scheduled to speak, including keynote speaker, Bob McGonnagle, who is the publisher of CAP TODAY, a leading trade magazine for the pathology and clinical laboratory field.
Following the Pathology Visions North America Conference in October, Aperio will also hold a second Pathology Visions Conference for the European pathology community, Nov. 7-8, 2006 in Leeds, UK.
