Case Studies

Digital-Ready Slides

As digital pathology adoption grows, glass coverslips help deliver the clarity and consistency needed for efficient workflows and advanced tools, making them the trusted choice today and for future AI-ready applications.

Study on the Performance of Different Cover Glasses in Microscopy

A comparative study of the influence of different cover media on the image formation in microscopic applications. Specifically, it involves a comparison between conventional cover glasses (Leica Spectra CV) and polymer films (Sakura Tissue-Tek). The provided samples were automatically prepared on a Leica and a Sakura Tissue-Tek coverslipper.

BOND-PRIME IHC/ISH Stainer – A Catalyst for Change

Wisconsin Diagnostics Laboratory, Anatomical Pathology Division, this tightly knit team has fundamentally changed the way their service operates. This has been made possible by a partnership with Leica Biosystems and their BOND-PRIME IHC/ISH staining system.

HistoCore Spectra CV coverslipper reduces turnaround time by 47% from glass coverslipping to slide drying completion
Assessing Image Quality: A Comparative Multi-assessment Evaluation of Aperio GT 450 DX

The number of practising anatomic pathologists is falling globally, and pathology departments need to find new ways to do more with less. Digital Pathology can provide a flexible platform to improve workflow efficiency while also ensuring patient safety and quality medical care.

 

Assessing Timing and Efficiency: A Comparative Evaluation of the Aperio GT 450 DX Scanner and a High-throughput Digital Slide Scanner

Digital Pathology can offer agility to Anatomic Pathology departments who are invested in improving efficiencies and high levels of quality while quickly responding to the increasing pressure of on-demand pathology services.

Improvement Opportunities Identified from Breast Programs in the United States

In partnership with the National Consortium of Breast Centers (NCBC), Leica Biosystems’ Process & Solution Optimization team worked with several hospitals with the goal to improve the quality and efficiencies of their breast programs. Through this work, the team identified common barriers and improvement opportunities.

Expediting Patient Care Through Improved BI-RADS Finalization

Leica Biosystems working in partnership with Southern Ohio Medical Center (SOMC), conducted process assessments to analyze the timeliness treatment for breast cancer patients. We identified a lack of standardized processes for conduction of imaging services and elongated time to diagnosis. The Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System (BI-RADs) is the standardized method to record findings on imaging studies.
