Barco debuted the MDPC-8127, its first medical-grade display designed exclusively for the digital histopathology market. The fast, 8MP, ultra-high-definition display has received regulatory clearance as a medical device, including use for primary diagnosis. A unique advantage: It’s compatible with multiple whole slide imaging systems.

The field of pathology is facing a worldwide crisis, due to a steadily declining number of active pathologists. At the same time, pathologists’ workload is increasing. An aging population, increasing cancer rates and the growth of precision medicine drive the need for more pathology tests each year.

The MDPC-8127 is a modern, 27-inch medical-grade display that offers 8MP performance, ultra-high-definition resolution and 1.07 billion possible colors, which together result in unprecedented visual richness and color confidence. It enables efficient reading sessions with minimal image blurring, thanks to an industry-leading frame rate of 120Hz and Barco’s RapidFrameTM technology.

Here is a video of it:

The display comes with the quality control and compliance software QAWeb Enterprise, for image stability throughout its entire lifetime, and a five-year warranty.

The MDPC-8127 is the first stand-alone display that is compatible with multiple whole slide imaging solutions, for primary diagnosis. It can be integrated into existing imaging infrastructure for digital pathology, without the need to invest in an entirely new whole slide imaging ecosystem. The MDPC-8127 comes standard with a high-precision Barco touchpad for easy slide navigation and manipulation. It is also possible to integrate a Barco advanced MXRT medical display controller with the display, which opens the door to an additional range of visualization tools that support your digital pathology workflow.
