Improving turnaround time in the gross room

The Importance of Specimen Imaging in the Pathology Lab

Efficiency is crucial in the pathology lab. Incorporating specimen radiography into the gross room process has been a game changer for pathologists' assistants (PAs). While commonly used in breast tissue analysis, it has applications across various specimen types. The technology allows PAs to quickly and accurately identify critical features in excised tissue before beginning the grossing, leading to reduce turnaround time for a patient’s specimen1.
