LIVE TELEPATHOLOGY
Conduct Dynamic Telepathology Sessions
Spectrum's TelePath Live functionality is useful in cytology specimens and other "thick tissue" applications. It enables you to:
- Directly connect to your ScanScope to see a live video feed from a remote location
- Capture Z-stacks to view specimens in multiple focal planes
- Perform a scan directly from ImageScope
TelePath Live offers many advantages over robotic microscopes. With TelePath Live, a pathologist can effectively conduct a dynamic telepathology session without a dedicated microscope. While traditional robotics-based telepathology systems can be difficult to use, TelePath Live takes advantage of digital slide technology to improve the slide navigation process, delivering near-instantaneous results. The pathologist is able to quickly navigate to regions of interest on a remote digital slide, and then capture and view a Z-stack interactively with no loss in image fidelity and no frustrating time lag.
Live Video
Live video allows a remote client to click anywhere on a digital slide and focus at any location.
What Is a Z-Stack?
A Z-stack is a three-dimensional image that allows you to view a specimen by moving up and down in the focal planes. This is especially useful for viewing "thick" specimens. TelePath Live enables real-time through-focus (depth) viewing of a specimen through the use of Z-stack images, which are cataloged in the Spectrum database and linked to the original digital slide as an annotation. This enables subsequent post-scan 3-D viewing
