Medical Imaging System Enables Real-Time Diagnostics

A partnership between the Toshiba Imaging Systems Division of Toshiba America (Irvine, CA) and Apollo Telemedicine (Falls Church, VA) has resulted in an advanced, real-time diagnostic imaging system for scientists and pathologists. The system incorporates Toshiba’s 3-CCD IK-TU51 three-chip camera head and controller, and Apollo’s ASAP (Apollo Streaming Anatomic Pathology) Imaging® — a high-speed, full-motion, interactive video streaming optimized for remote diagnostics — to enable a pathologist to look at a live, high-resolution image from under a microscope over a network using Internet video streaming.
