The Pathology Department of Shanghai YiDa Hospital undertakes pathological diagnosis work in the medical process. Through biopsy, exfoliative and fine-needle aspiration cytology etc, it provides clear pathological diagnosis for clinical practice, determines the nature of diseases and decides the treatment principles. The department consists of histopathology, cytopathology, immunopathology and molecular pathology, forming a comprehensive diagnosis mode that combines pathological morphology, immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology.

The department is equipped with advanced and complete instruments and equipment, including diagnosis rooms, digital scanning rooms, sampling rooms, cell rooms, slide preparation rooms, molecular pathology rooms, immunohistochemistry rooms, special staining rooms, etc. It possesses advanced automatic dehydrators, embedding machines, automatic staining machines, immunohistochemistry instruments, fluorescence microscopes, etc.

In addition to carrying out routine histopathological diagnosis, exfoliative cell diagnosis, puncture cell diagnosis and rapid frozen section diagnosis, the department also conducts a variety of detection technologies such as immunohistochemical detection (more than 200 kinds of antibodies), special staining, fluorescence staining, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), etc.

As a digital pathology department, the digital scanning room is equipped with a DST300 scanner, which adopts the world's advanced area scanning method. The multi-layer fusion image quality meets the WSI standard. It has a fast scanning speed and high efficiency, and can perform unattended automatic scanning and storage. The application of AI-assisted diagnosis technology after the digitization of slides significantly improves the doctor's slide reading efficiency. Meanwhile, the digital pathology department system can track each sample in real time to improve the sample processing efficiency. The system has a built-in remote consultation function for difficult cases. Experts across the country can log in with designated accounts to read slides remotely online, which not only provides accurate pathological diagnosis for the individualized treatment of clinical patients, but also significantly improves the pathological diagnosis ability of the pathology department for difficult and complex diseases.
