Veterinary Anatomical Pathology

Anatomical Pathology

The Pathology Unit of the veterinary laboratory of Echevarne is a reference for veterinary clinics and hospitals throughout the country, uniting qualified personnel with the most advanced technical means.

Since 2019, the Unit has been operating under a Digital Pathology system, a system that is progressively being implemented throughout the world and replacing the traditional conventional analog microscopy system. Digital Pathology is based on the use of high resolution scanners that digitize the histological preparations, so that the diagnosis is made on screens with dedicated image management software. In this way we obtain greater versatility, delocalisation, quick access to archived material and greater capacity for information management (cell counting, measurements of sizes or surfaces, etc).

In addition to the usual diagnostic support techniques (Histochemistry and Immunohistochemistry), Molecular Biology (PCR, HIS) techniques are used that are progressively incorporated into this discipline.

This area is formed by a team of highly trained and committed veterinary pathologists, with extensive experience in their field. Their dedication, knowledge and precision guarantee diagnoses of the highest quality, providing confidence and support to veterinarians in their clinical practice.

One of the main objectives of Echevarne is the advice to the client. Pathological Anatomy being a largely interpretative specialty, Echevarne Veterinaria prioritizes a fluid communication between the pathologist and the veterinarian, to collaborate and provide the necessary information for decision making.
