Quality as Standard
The team at PathQA strongly believe in the need for rigorous Quality Assurance Practices in Digital Pathology. That's why we are continually developing tools that promote the measurement and control of the processes used.
Everything we do is driven by the simple choice... Quality as Standard.
Every whole slide imaging scanner is unique, regardless of make, model, batch or unit. The digital images created vary from device to device, resulting in image colour variation from the same real tissue slide scanned on one device to the next.
Why is accuracy important?
