Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Philips has launched the Pathology Scanner SGi, which is the world's first digital pathology scanner to offer native DICOM JPEG and JPEG XL output. This addresses the lack of established DICOM standards in digital pathology, where vendors previously used proprietary formats. The new scanner expands Philips' existing SG300 and SG60 offerings with configurable DICOM output capabilities.
