Grossing Technology Today and Tomorrow
1Loyola University Chicago Medical Center (Ret.), Grand Rapids, Michigan, US.
Objective:
To describe the perspective of grossing technology and highlight the prospective of its development in histology laboratory.
Methods:
Analysis of different components of grossing technology.
Results:
Increased requirements for a specimen's turnaround time and the advancements in modern processing equipment make the triage of workflow a significant part of a grossing person's responsibilities. The implementation of digital pathology in morphology studies practice requires standardization of fixation, the thickness of gross section, and optimal embedding orientation. To meet tomorrow's challenges, grossing technology should work on embedding automation and gross digital pathology to record gross sections corresponding the microscope slide. Specialization of grossing stations might be beneficial to the quality of processing and smooth workflow productivity. The emerging grossing technologist subspecialty requires development of a special training program.
Conclusion:
Grossing technology can contribute to new challenges in modern histology laboratory, assuring high-quality microscope slides for the pathologist's diagnosis and research evaluation.
