Episode 215: Dr Michael Topf And Dr Alexander Perez - Reimagining Pathology Specimen Documentation With 3D Scanning

Listen Later

Today my guests are Dr Alexander Perez and Dr Michael Topf.

What we discuss with Dr Perez and Dr Topf:

  • The challenge of documenting surgical specimens with traditional text and photos
  • How 3D scanning improves accuracy and communication in pathology
  • Integration into the gross room workflow with minimal time impact
  • Clinical applications: tumor boards, surgical navigation, and radiation therapy planning
  • Educational value: training residents, 3D printing, and virtual/augmented reality
  • Patient-facing benefits, including education and visualization
  • Cost accessibility: high-quality scanners for around $2,000
  • Collaboration and sharing of protocols to encourage wider adoption
  • Future outlook: from long-term digital storage to medicolegal uses and beyond
