Whole slide imaging (WSI) is the most recent imaging modality being employed by pathology labs worldwide. It is an advanced imaging technique used to produce digital slides. Whole slide imaging is a disruptive technology where glass slides are scanned to produce digital images. Whole slide imaging tools or devices scan conventional glass slides in order to produce digital slides. Digital pathology with WSI has many potential clinical and non-clinical applications. As a result, whole slide imaging is rapidly gaining traction among pathologists for diagnostic, educational, and research purposes.

Market Dynamics

Increasing adoption of digital pathology, growing applications of digital pathology, increasing incidence of cancer, technological advancements in whole slide imaging, increasing in drug discovery, and growing popularity of virtual slides are major factors expected to propel growth of the global whole slide imaging market over the forecast period.

For instance, in September 2022, Pathomation announced a new release of its cloud-based ‘My Pathomation’ platform for digital pathology as a low-threshold communication and whole slide image sharing platform. It boasts a community of 750 users.

Moreover, in March 2022, Leica Microsystems launched Mica, the world’s first Microhub. A Microhub is a new type of wholly integrated imaging solution that leverages machine learning software, automation tools and unique fluorescence unmixing techniques to automate imaging workflow for researchers, regardless of their microscopy experience levels.
