OS-FS is a frozen section imaging modality by OptraSCAN®, purpose-built for real-time intraoperative pathology review. Delivered through compatible OptraSCAN platforms such as OS-SiX™ and OS-Lite™ , OS-FS enables live digital microscopy using Live View Mode as slides are prepared. With a compact footprint suitable for surgical suite environments, OS-FS preserves established diagnostic* practices while extending immediate local and remote access to frozen section review, without relying on archived whole slide imaging.
Frozen section workflows demand immediate access to expert interpretation, seamless collaboration, and minimal disruption to surgical timelines. Traditional approaches rely on physical microscopes and on-site expertise, limiting flexibility and access, particularly across hospital networks and distributed care environments.
OS-FS supports pathologist-led interpretation in speed-critical environments, eliminating any additional unnecessary scanning, storage, or workflow complexity.
Frozen section slides are prepared using standard intraoperative protocols.
Slides are visualized instantly using Live View Mode for real-time digital microscopy.
Pathologists can review and consult remotely across locations.
Findings are communicated immediately to support surgical decision-making.
