How do we embed AI into Digital Pathology workflows?
Posted 22nd February 2019 by Joshua Sewell
This is an exciting time in pathology: now that digital pathology is mature, we have noticed an uptake in a lot of AI start-up companies. Most of the algorithms have been developed on a research basis or in a test environment, and only recently applied. What follows is a summary of the work we are doing at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center testing these AI apps, and some of the questions arising therefrom.

The 7 Steps to Digital Pathology
Posted 31st August 2018 by Jane Williams
“There’s nothing wrong with the microscope.”
“Our Information Systems won’t integrate with other technology.”
“Change is hard.”
These are a couple of the concerns pathologists have about digital pathology. But as they learn more, pathologists are finding that their apprehension about going digital is holding them back from reaping significant benefits. They are also discovering that old methods can’t compete against today’s digital solutions.
Selecting the Right Digital Pathology System – Anil Parwani

Anil Parwani, Director of Pathology Informatics and Digital Pathology at Ohio State University, gives us an insight on selecting the right digital pathology system and the issues with the current systems.
How Beneficial is Digital Pathology for the Laboratory Administrator?
Posted 1st November 2017 by Jane Williams
Whether in a research or clinical lab, digital pathology holds a great deal of promise for all stakeholders. Earlier this year, a digital pathology platform obtained FDA clearance for whole slide imaging, thereby increasing both awareness and applicability of digital pathology. It may, however, be difficult for hospitals and laboratories to justify the acquisition costs of digital pathology platforms if one only looks on the surface. Matt Houliston from Definiens looks at the workflow and economic benefits of adopting digital pathology beyond the perhaps more obvious clinical benefits.
