LEXINGTON, Mass., and CENTERVILLE, Mass. — FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation and mTuitive have formed a strategic partnership aimed at improving precision medicine by connecting structured pathology reporting with enterprise imaging systems.
Fujifilm, a provider of diagnostic and enterprise imaging technology, said the partnership will integrate mTuitive’s structured pathology reporting platform with Fujifilm’s Synapse Pathology, a pathology PACS designed to streamline case management through advances in image digitization.
The companies said the integration is intended to unify diagnostic data across pathology and imaging, helping clinicians make faster decisions and support more coordinated, evidence-based patient care.
Diagnostic data is often separated across departments, limiting real-time collaboration among radiologists, oncologists and pathologists. The companies said the combined Fujifilm and mTuitive technology will create a pathology-to-enterprise pipeline in which structured pathology reports, including CAP and Commission on Cancer-compliant synoptic data and biomarker information, can move from mTuitive through the Laboratory Information System into Synapse.
The integration will allow final pathology reports to appear in Synapse after sign-out, giving care teams access to the same structured information in real time. The companies said the system also will allow structured reports to appear alongside radiology images during tumor boards, supporting more cohesive care decisions.
The partnership is also designed to reduce duplicate data entry while preserving the Laboratory Information System as the system of record. Fujifilm and mTuitive said the integration can help health care organizations gain more value from existing systems without adding new platforms, while structured pathology data can support cancer registries, clinical analytics, research and artificial intelligence applications.
“By integrating mTuitive’s structured reporting capabilities with Synapse’s Pathology, our robust, open-cloud accessible platform, we’re empowering healthcare teams with the unified diagnostic insights they need to deliver faster, more coordinated patient care,” said Dr. Mark Lloyd, vice president of digital pathology at FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation.
“As we deepen our alliance with Fujifilm, we are intentionally building an ecosystem where imaging, pathology, and informatics work in concert to give care teams faster, more confident answers for their patients,” said Hans Wernke, vice president of strategic alliances at mTuitive.
