Abstract
H. pylori, a common gastric pathogen, has long been a source of concern for medical professionals due to its role in causing various gastrointestinal issues. While digital pathology has revolutionized the way we diagnose and understand diseases, the microscopic size of H. pylori has posed challenges in its detection through this cutting-edge technology, a.ka. microscope slide scanner. However, recent advancements in high-resolution digital pathology slide scanners are changing the game, defeating the nemesis of digital pathology and effectively enabling comprehensive digital reporting for GI pathology cases.
A Tiny Culprit & the Broken Promise of Digital Pathology
Measuring a mere 2 to 4 μm in length and 0.5 to 1 μm in width, H. pylori is one of the tiniest yet highly critical pathogens to be spotted under light microscopy.
Historically, microscope side scanners aka digital pathology had failed to satisfy on the image resolution front.
The problem is 2 fold
Historically, microscope side scanners aka digital pathology had failed to satisfy on the image resolution front.
The problem is 2 fold
- The Camera - need for higher camera resolution without compromising slide scanning speed
- Focussing Algorithms - lack of uniformly crisp focusing at true 40X resolving optics
The Fix → Digital Pathology 2.0
Morphle Labs Inc. has built next-generation of slide scanning technology that solves both of these much-awaited problems with traditional digital pathology
- The Camera - A potent combination of the latest generation camera sensor technology combined with custom optics has achieved higher resolutions without compromising the depth of focus.
- Focussing Algorithms - MorphoLens 240, the flagship whole slide scanner from Morphle Labs Inc. packs a powerful GPU and real-time feedback from neural networks deployed on top. Artificial intelligence determines the focus shifts across regions almost in real-time and guides the focussing control systems of the mmicroscope slide scanner to the perfect focal plane at every field of view leading to a uniformly crisp focus across the whole slide image.
What does this mean for pathology practices?
Morphle slide scanners powered by Digital Pathology 2.0 are a game-changer for practices that need high resolution @ high speed for comprehensive digital and/or remote microscopy.
This is especially pertinent for laboratories handling significant workloads of gastrointestinal and cytology cases.
Also, enough has been said about the comfort and efficiency of remote sub-specialty reporting that digital pathology offers. These cutting-edge improvements just make it golden w.r.t image quality and won’t let the pathologist ever miss their microscopes :)
