What are the challenges associated with the implementation of technology in histology?
While the benefits of technology and automation in histology are clear, there are several challenges to consider. The initial cost of acquiring high-end equipment and software can be prohibitive for some labs. Additionally, there is a learning curve associated with the adoption of new technologies, necessitating training and adaptation periods for staff. Data management and cybersecurity are also critical concerns, as the digitization of slides and patient information must comply with stringent regulations to protect patient privacy and data integrity.
