Picture this: You're sitting in a meeting room, explaining to your leadership team why your cancer care program's AI initiative is six months behind schedule and over budget, while competitors are already seeing results. The PowerPoint slides feel heavy in your hands. The questions from board members sting more... read more →

Pathology is undergoing a seismic shift, moving away from the traditional methods that have been standard for over a century. Histopathology, which traditionally relied on thinly sliced tissue sections mounted on glass slides, is evolving with advancements in slide-free optical microscopy. This novel approach... read more →

This post is brought to you by Aiforia. In tissue image analysis for pathology detecting structures of interest accurately is critically important. With classical, hand-crafted image analysis algorithms it was often a challenging task requiring extensive image analysis expertise. With deep learning-based image segmentation as part of the pathology... read more →

Since several years the pathology conferences host more and more lectures about digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) applications in pathology. The accuracy of the presented AI models often comes close and sometimes exceeds the inter and intra-pathologist variability. Terms such as machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, and other computer... read more →

Image analysis of pathology samples requires two sets of skills: the image analysis (computational) skills and pathology skills. This is why to provide reliable results the pathologists and engineers need to work together on the development of the IA algorithms. Often they start working together without previous experience in each other’s fields. To optimize... read more →

Recently at a pathology conference, I met my friend (and former colleague), who has an advanced background in mathematics and computer science. I have previously worked with him on several image analysis and artificial intelligence digital pathology projects. After an interesting lecture given by a recognized pathologist and... read more →

Image analysis (IA) as part of digital pathology has been around quite some time already. In fact, the first systems for remote pathologic diagnosis (video-based) were demonstrated in the USA in 1968. Since then enormous advancements in technology have been made, but the penetration of digital pathology applications in the clinical space... read more →

After having looked at the top 50 pathology blogs and the top 30 pathology youtube channels I noticed there are no 50 blogs about pathology (the list ends at 38) nor are there 30 youtube channels (only 25 listed in the post, and my favorite of Dr. Minarcik was not even included). Only a... read more →
