FDA to held meeting on digital whole slide scanning system
18-10-2009
On October 22 and 23, 2009, the Hematology and Pahtology Devices Advisory Committee will discuss and make recommendations on public health issues related to the use of digital whole slide imaging systems to replace conventional light microscopy for diagnostic surgical pathology. In the scope of this meeting, digital pathology is defined as converting what can be observed by conventional light microscopy on histologic glass slides into digital whole slide images via digital scanners; viewing these images via a computer monitor to render pathologic diagnosis of the lesion of interest; and digitally archiving and retrieving these images. The committee will not be discussing computer-assisted image analysis or remote real-time microscopy.
