Webinar highlights - Total duration [46:00]
“Finland has pioneered digital pathology for over 15 years but projects leading to full scale adaption in clinical diagnostics have been lacking for multiple reasons (technical prerequisites, financial considerations etc.). Now it seems that these barriers have been overcome and currently there are many centers planning to go digital. This presentation will reveal our initial experiences of going ~ 100% digital in a multicenter environment.”
