Digital Pathology Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) & Diagnostic PACS Gateway
Stream gigapixel digital biopsy slides from high-throughput scanners to subspecialty pathologists with zero latency, DICOM compatibility, and automated LIMS case sign-off.
Transitioning anatomic pathology from glass slides and optical microscopes to digital Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) unlocks massive operational efficiencies. However, multi-gigabyte WSI files (often 1 to 5 GB per slide) overwhelm enterprise IT networks, and proprietary scanner formats hinder interoperability. TravaLabs provides a vendor-neutral digital pathology PACS gateway that converts scanner output (Aperio SVS, Hamamatsu NDPI, Philips iSyntax) into standardized DICOM images, enabling rapid subspecialty sign-outs, instant second opinions, and automated CPT 88305/88342 billing sync.
Key results
- 3.2x — Faster Biopsy Case Turnaround
- < 1s — Slide Pan/Zoom Streaming Latency
- 100% — Vendor-Neutral DICOM Compliance
- Zero — Glass Slide Shipping Delays
Core capabilities
- Vendor-Neutral DICOM WSI Conversion — Converts native Aperio .svs, Hamamatsu .ndpi, 3DHISTECH .mrxs, and Philips .isyntax files into standard DICOM WSI for universal enterprise archive storage.
- Zero-Footprint Web-Based Diagnostic Viewer — Pathologists view, zoom, and annotate gigapixel slides in modern web browsers with sub-second tile rendering and side-by-side immunohistochemistry (IHC) comparisons.
- Automated LIMS Case Assignment & Auto-Sign-Out — Matches slide barcodes directly to accessioned cases, organizing specimen blocks and stains automatically on the pathologist diagnostic worklist.
- Instant Telepathology Second-Opinion Sharing — Share live, synchronized slide viewing sessions with external subspecialty experts (dermatopathology, neuropathology, hematopathology) with one secure click.
Deployment roadmap
- Day 1–10: Scanner Integration & Network Architecture — Connect high-speed edge cache servers to slide scanners (Leica Aperio, Hamamatsu NanoZoomer, Philips Ultra Fast) and configure automated DICOM conversion.
- Day 11–20: Pathology LIMS & Zero-Footprint Viewer Setup — Integrate TravaLabs Web viewer with your anatomic pathology LIMS (Epic Beaker, Sunquest, Cerner CoPath) and calibrate medical-grade diagnostic displays.
- Day 21–30: Clinical Validation & Telepathology Launch — Perform CAP digital pathology validation protocols for primary diagnosis, train pathology staff, and enable remote subspecialty consultation networks.
Frequently asked questions
Can pathologists use TravaLabs for primary digital diagnosis under CLIA and CAP?
Yes. TravaLabs viewer meets all CAP and CLIA guidelines for primary digital pathology diagnosis when deployed alongside validated diagnostic displays and documented laboratory validation studies.
Does viewing large whole slide images require high-speed fiber internet at home?
No. TravaLabs utilizes dynamic tile pyramid streaming, only transmitting the specific pixels being viewed on the screen. Pathologists can review slides smoothly on standard 25Mbps home broadband connections.
