Experts from Caris Life Sciences, UPMC, and Mayo Clinic highlight Digital Pathology 2.0 – the future of digital pathology – in “Beyond the Scanner” workshopPramana, Inc., an AI-enabled health tech company modernizing the pathology sector, will present its latest advancements in image acquisition and autonomous whole slide imaging at Pathology Visions (PV2024) in Orlando, Fla., November 3-5 (booth #407). The company will also host a panel presentation on November 3 at 4 p.m., titled “Beyond the Scanner,” demonstrating how labs can adopt digital pathology to optimize workflows and enhance operations.

“Pramana is at the forefront of digital pathology with AI-driven systems that not only boost efficiency but transform lab operations entirely. One of the biggest challenges in digital pathology has been integrating data management and image analysis into existing workflows without overwhelming pathologists. Our solutions address this by providing automated, accurate image acquisition and analysis, enabling labs to handle larger caseloads with greater precision and less strain on personnel,”

said Prasanth Perugupalli, Chief Product Officer at Pramana.

The ‘Beyond the Scanner’ workshop will feature three engaging sessions:

• Digital Pathology’s Role in Molecular Profiling Labs: Overcoming Barriers to Adoption
  • Vaishali Pannu, PhD, VP of Digital Pathology, Caris Life Sciences, will discuss overcoming cost and workflow barriers to improve efficiency and eliminate downstream processing and quality control checks.
• Edge Compute Benefits and Consolidation of Digital Pathology into Regional Labs—Rethinking Beyond the Scanner
  • Matthew Hanna, Vice Chair of Pathology Informatics, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, will explore the benefits of edge computing in regional lab consolidation and optimizing digital pathology infrastructure.
• Innovations for DICOM Storage Optimization in Pathology: Compression & Z-stacking
  • Andrew Norgan, Medical Director of Digital Pathology Platform, Mayo Clinic, will highlight DICOM storage challenges and innovations like compression and z-stacking to optimize data management.

While most pathology scanners require constant manual adjustments and only use a fraction of their capacity, Pramana’s autonomous whole-slide imaging systems are designed to streamline workflows by integrating quality assurance measures. Additionally, the AI-enhanced image analysis minimizes errors and improves overall operational performance. Featuring a modular design that can be scaled to meet lab needs, the system incorporates Edge AI for real-time analysis and offers a first-of-its-kind in-line algorithm, making digital pathology more accessible, reliable, and adaptable. Pramana will be highlighting its Spectral family of scanners at the conference.
