ScanVan
Bring Enterprise-Scale Digital Pathology Scanning Directly to Your Archive
ScanVan™ is a mobile whole slide imaging platform that digitizes pathology archives directly at hospitals, laboratories, and research institutions.
By transforming glass slide archives into structured digital datasets, ScanVan helps organizations support faster diagnostic insight, rare disease research, pharmaceutical development, and future AI-enabled pathology tools — without requiring permanent scanning infrastructure.
ScanVan was developed in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh’s Computational Pathology and AI Center of Excellence (CPACE) to support scalable pathology digitization for healthcare and research organizations.

How ScanVan Works
Why Pathology Digitization Matters
Pathology archives contain decades of diagnostic information, but most remain inaccessible in physical storage.
Digitizing these collections makes historical pathology data searchable, shareable, and usable across clinical care and research environments.
Improve Rare Disease DiagnosisAccess to larger collections of historical cases can help clinicians identify patterns and comparisons that support faster diagnosis and treatment decisions. | Enable AI DevelopmentStructured digital pathology data creates the foundation for developing and validating future AI-assisted diagnostic tools. |
Support Pharmaceutical ResearchLarge-scale digital pathology datasets enable retrospective studies, biomarker discovery, and therapeutic research. | Expand Research CollaborationDigitized archives make it easier for institutions to collaborate across health systems, academia, and life sciences organizations. |
