How Pramana Helped Mayo Clinic Digitize 11M Pathology Slides in Just Two Years

From Pramana: When Mayo Clinic set out to digitize 20 million tissue slides to advance future research, they faced a significant challenge. With a variety of specimen types, preparation techniques, and storage conditions, digitizing pathology slides at scale has always been slow and difficult.

Enter Pramana, a company tackling the global pathologist shortage by leveraging AI in digital pathology to improve slide replication and diagnosis.

Working with Mayo Clinic, Pramana’s AI-powered robotic scanners have processed over 11 million slidesin the last two years, averaging more than 20,000 slides per day andcreating the world’s largest DICOM digital pathology data lake. This intelligent system automates the scanning process for all specimen types – including tissue, cytology, and microbiology – correcting image imperfections in real time.
