Digital and Computational Pathology: Early Experiences and Lessons Learned

Product code: SP-155

This web-based seminar teaches how to plan and deploy for a Digital and Computational Pathology system as part of an EIS (Enterprise Imaging Solution) and shares valuable lessons learned from early implementations in Europe where this technology has been in routine use for more than 5 years.

Early bird price of $195 valid till 8/15

Audience

This seminar provides the 'big picture' for professionals who either are considering implementing these systems, supporting them, or needing to plan ahead, to make sure that their departmental and enterprise imaging systems are ready to deploy them. It is therefore of interest to pathologists, lab managers, PACS and Enterprise Imaging professionals and vendors working on planning to become involved with digital pathology.

Detailed Learning Objectives

After this webinar you will be able to:

Discuss different scenario's, business cases and system requirements of digital and computational pathology system (DPS) with co-workers or customers.
Explain workflow standards and model them for your specific use case for digital pathology.
Endorse the importance of an implementation plan for digital pathology understand the impact of Artificial Intelligence on digital pathology.
Identify the interoperability challenges with digital pathology especially around the different file formats such as TIFF and DICOM.
Apply lessons learned from successful European digital pathology implementations.

Faculty

Robert Breas, MSc: Robert is trainer/consultant involved in interoperability and connectivity of health care IT systems. He's involved with healthcare interoperability exchange (HIE) for hospitals in the Netherlands. He also focuses on IHE connectivity testing (such as XDS) and implementation.
David Clunie, MD: David has been chair of numerous committees and working groups related to interoperability, especially DICOM, has a long history/background in medical trials and been very influential in the development of new medical imaging standards including the pathology standard. He has extensively published and presented on medical informatics subjects.
Andre Huisman, PhD: Andr� is consultant who has had firsthand experience in several digital pathology projects for pathology laboratories, both for primary diagnostics as well as for collaboration use cases. Furthermore he?s been involved from the initial idea until the current implementation phase of a national exchange network for whole slide images in the Netherlands.
Herman Oosterwijk, MSc, MBA: Herman is a consultant trainer who has been involved with medical imaging and standardization efforts (DICOM, HL7, IHE) for 25+ years and taught medical informatics in more than 20 countries to thousands of students. He published several textbooks on this subject.

Class Structure

This is a synchronous delivered, instructor lead, live web session. The seminar has 4 sections/modules of one hour each, and there will be a Q and A session at the end.

Instructions

It is strongly recommended to dial-in to the virtual classroom 15 minutes prior to the class to resolve any technical issues with audio, internet, etc.

Participation

You purchase a single "seat" which means that you should not share the invite for the meeting with others. If you wish to have several participants, you can order additional seats as indicated below.
