MacroPATH

Macro Digital Imaging System

«A picture is worth a thousand words» …and a digitally recorded picture is worth even more

Milestone launched in 1998 the first digital macro imaging system for pathology and ever since has built on decades of experience and satisfied users. Our technology has enabled laboratories to implement better quality assurance oversight, reduce specimen description time, and provide greater accuracy.

The MacroPATH Digital Imaging System enhances patient safety as it incorporates all necessary features to expedite and simplify the documentation and traceability of biospecimens. MacroPATH is a user-friendly system that provides high-resolution images, video and audio files. It can be mounted to fit any existing grossing station or used as a stand-alone system.

  • High resolution camera for high quality images and videos (20 Mpx, 30x optical zoom)
  • Advanced user interface to expedite documentation, storage and editing
  • Smart, icon-driven software
  • Waterproof 19” Touchscreen Terminal
  • Foot pedal for hands-free manipulation of major camera functions (zoom-in/out, save and record).

Why MacroPATH?

  • DIGITALIZE YOUR GROSSING
    MacroPATH relies on a high-resolution camera for capturing images and videos, a microphone to record voice notes and a suite of editing tools to work on the images. MacroPATH allows to standardize the acquisition and storage of documentation into specific case ID folders.
  • ENHANCED DIAGNOSTIC REPORTING
    Macro images, videos and MP3 files are available to all pathologists to create diagnostic reports.
  • AUTOMATED BIOPSIES CAPTURING
    The revolutionary C-Scan option, specifically designed for biopsies, enables the operator to automatically collect all digital documentation in just a second.
  • STREAMLINED WORKFLOW
    MacroPATH combines ease of use and fast operation to expedite and standardize the digital description as an integral part of the grossing workflow.
  • FLEXIBLE SET-UP
    MacroPATH is available as a stand-alone system to be placed near the grossing area or integrated as a complement into any grossing station.
  • HANDS-FREE CAMERA
    The foot pedal and the innovative LOOX eye-tracking system enable the hands-free control of the main MacroPATH functions. This simplifies and expedites the documenting procedure.
  • LIS SYSTEMS COMPATIBLE
    In addition to stand-alone operation, MacroPATH can be integrated into the LIS via multiple ways, such as via HL7, TWAIN, line command, shared folder and the MileWATCH system.
  • IDEAL TEACHING TOOL
    MacroPATH can be used during classes to educate students on the correct grossing procedure.

Enhanced Traceability

Thanks to the MacroPATH software, the pathologist can check images and videos of the grossing during embedding or cutting, to intercept potential mismatches and thus significantly reducing potential risks. Moreover, the perfect integration with the MileWATCH system (optional) enables the tracking of the specimen’s data from its collection up until embedding for a full case history and to provide evidence when needed.

Automated Biopsies Capturing

The revolutionary C-Scan option for MacroPATH, specifically designed for biopsies, enables the operator to automatically collect all digital documentation in just a second. By placing the cassette under the laser beam, the MacroPATH algorithm instantly recognizes the code, creates the case folder and takes a picture with a preset zoom. This feature prevents human errors and mismatches by providing an automated process to collect and store digital documentation of biopsies.
