Digital Pathology at Lille University Hospital

A silent revolution is taking place at Lille University Hospital’s Anatomopathology Service. The facility has embraced digital pathology, replacing traditional glass blades scrutinized under microscopes with digital images available on screen.

This groundbreaking investment, costing over two million euros and co-financed by the European Union via Feder and the Hauts-de-France region, offers significant time savings for doctors and faster diagnostics for patients.

What is Digital Pathology? Digital pathology involves scanning tissue samples to create digital images that can be viewed on a computer screen. The technology is a stepping stone to incorporating artificial intelligence for image analysis, promising even more innovative medical advancements.

The shift towards digital pathology at Lille represents a crucial step in achieving Europe’s ambitions for a connected and resilient healthcare system.
