Digitize Bone Marrow Review for 46% Faster Cell Analysis
Bone marrow aspirate review is one of the most demanding workflows in hematopathology. Cases involve multiple slides per patient, require expert interpretation, and traditionally depend on a hematopathologist being physically present at a microscope.
Scopio's Full-Field Bone Marrow Aspirate™ Application removes that dependency. Running on the Scopio X100 and X100HT scanners, it captures the aspirate at true 100x oil-immersion-equivalent resolution in one continuous digital view - then layers AI-powered cell pre-classification on top, so experts spend their time interpreting rather than counting.
In a prospective time-and-motion study, the digital workflow delivered 46% faster cell analysis and eliminated an average of 139 head and neck movements per review.¹
What is Full-Field imaging?
Full-Field is Scopio's proprietary imaging technology. Conventional digital microscopy forces a tradeoff between resolution and field of view - you get cellular detail or spatial context, not both. Using computational photography, Full-Field captures true 100x oil-immersion-equivalent resolution across large areas or the entire slide in a single continuous digital view.
The practical result: you move from single-cell detail to a macro view of the whole sample the way you would at a microscope, but entirely on screen - without piecing together fragmented cell snapshots.
Three things that change on day one
Dynamic, Full-Field digital review
Continuous 100x imaging lets you transition instantly between single-cell resolution and the full-slide macro view. Navigate the sample as you would on a microscope, with none of the mental load of reassembling fragmented snapshots.
Half the manual effort
Automated pre-classification across 17 nucleated cell classes, drawn from thousands of analysed cells, delivers a standardized review across every shift and every site - reducing the burden of manual differentials.

Frequently asked questions
How does digital bone marrow aspirate review work?
Slides are loaded into a Scopio X100 or X100HT scanner and captured at 100x resolution using Full-Field imaging. AI detects and pre-classifies nucleated cells into 17 classes and calculates the M:E ratio. The hematopathologist then reviews, adjusts, and confirms every result in a browser, before signing off and exporting an HL7 report with DICOM images.
How much time does digital bone marrow review actually save?
A prospective time-and-motion study found 46% faster cell analysis compared with the manual workflow, and eliminated an average of 139 head and neck movements per review.¹
How many cell classes does the AI classify?
17 nucleated cell classes, plus slide-wide megakaryocyte detection. Classification is pre-classification only - the expert verifies every result and retains full diagnostic authority.
Can bone marrow aspirates be reviewed remotely?
Yes. Review, consultation, and sign-off run in a standard browser from anywhere on the hospital's secure network. No dedicated software and no slide transport.
Does it support whole slide imaging?
Yes. Scan modes range from targeted analysis areas to full Whole Slide Imaging of the entire aspirate slide.
Which stains are supported?
Romanowsky stains with AI decision support, and Prussian Blue without AI decision support. A broad range of color configurations supports diverse staining protocols.
Does it integrate with our LIS and image management system?
Yes - bi-directional LIS integration via HL7, and native DICOM image export for long-term archiving.
