KFSHRC unveils virtual pathology service in Madinah

It reduces diagnostic turnaround times from over a week to a day.

King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC) has introduced a virtual pathology service at its Madinah branch.

The service allows high-resolution digital analysis of tissue samples for conditions such as cancer, inflammatory diseases, and microbiological infections.  

In addition, it replaces physical slife shipments, reducing diagnostic turnaround times from over a week to a day.

The virtual platform also supports collaboration with institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic, OH, USA, enabling real-time second opinions and consultations for complex cases.
