Digitizing the way hematologists already work
Dr. Leonor Arenillas, Head of Hematopathology at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, on rising caseloads, the specialist shortage, and the move to digital.
About Dr. Arenillas
Dr. Arenillas is a hematologist with more than 20 years of experience in hematologic diagnosis. She heads the Hematopathology section at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, a lab that runs fully integrated diagnostics across cytology, flow cytometry, molecular biology, cytogenetics, and bone marrow and lymph node biopsies. Her team has years of experience with digital pathology on biopsies.
In her words
"La citología requiere un largo tiempo de aprendizaje y no se consigue un experto muy rápidamente."
Cytology takes a long time to learn. You don't build an expert quickly.
"Simula muy bien lo que hacemos los hematólogos mirando al microscopio óptico... no solo fotografías de células, sino que tienes información de todo el contexto."
It closely mirrors what hematologists do at the light microscope. Not just pictures of cells, but information about the full context.
"Es una inversión económica inicial que va a tener un retorno positivo en la atención de nuestros pacientes."
It's an initial investment that will pay back in the care of our patients.
Why it matters
Labs are seeing more samples every year, with fewer specialists to review them. Full-Field™ imaging gives hematologists the same wide view they rely on at the microscope, for both peripheral blood smears and bone marrow aspirates. See the clinical impact labs are reporting.
