SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The use of digital pathology has been largely restricted to research applications. While pathology laboratories have transitioned to digital workflows over the past 10 years, digitization and automation have penetrated only certain parts of the pathology workflow, leaving ample scope for deploying a complete, fully digitized, end-to-end automated workflow. The United States Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recent de novo clearance of Philip's IntelliSite platform is paving the way for wider clinical applications of the technology.
"User perception that whole slide imaging will always be inferior to the light microscope has traditionally limited digital pathology to research, teaching/education, and clinical diagnosis applications. Stringent regulatory pathways and the differing time, productivity and quality requirements in clinical environment further compound barriers," explained Transformational Health Principal Analyst Divyaa Ravishankar. "Nevertheless, innovations centered on cloud hosting and image analysis will increase adoption among future users and also generate merger and acquisition opportunities for vendors." Leading market players are Roche Diagnostics (Ventana), Leica Biosystems, Cerner, Philips, Sunquest, 3DHistech, Proscia, Inspirata, Indica Labs, Definiens, and Visiopharm.
2017 Customer Attitudes and Adoption Plans of Digital Pathology Technologies is part of Frost & Sullivan's Life Sciences Growth Partnership Service program. The study is based on an extensive survey of substantial users—pathologists and lab managers that influence purchase decisions—of digital pathology equipment. Of the 253 candidates attempted the survey and 154 candidates qualified for the survey.

The primary goal of this research is to identify trends and developments in the field of digital pathology. The survey seeks to collect the main information and compare the perceptions of current and potential adopters of this technology. In addition, it analyzes the intended use case, adoption of cloud pathology, barriers to adoption, budgets and the brand perception (Scanners, image analysis, archiving, PACS and APLIS solutions). Moreover, it describes the image storage, format, size and monthly storage requirements. Several notable insights emerged from the survey:
