How do pathologists know which core is where within the BxChip?

BxChips contain special markings. The arrows indicate orientation (proximal and distal ends of the tissue). The dots ( · ·· ··· ) are a key to know which core was placed where from left to right. Using that key, labs should document which tissue is where so that a pathologist will know what they are diagnosing. If used with Lumea’s software, our technology will keep track of the designations for you.
