Imaging and scanning services
Not already digital? Our team of experts can digitise slides for you to enable NHSI pathology networks, offering flexible solutions to improve efficiencies and patient care.
A key benefit of our digital pathology service, alongside reporting, is supporting hospital departments with growing backlogs in pathology, offering glass slide digitisation via high quality scanning. With more hospital departments facing workforce shortages and backlogs building, MedPath has adopted the latest technology to ensure that every patient’s diagnosis is efficiently managed, translating to rapid treatment decisions and improved outcomes.
