Digital pathology

Digital pathology is a major part of pathology informatics, and encompasses topics including slide scanning, digital imaging, image analysis and telepathology.

Digital pathology is a sub-field of pathology that focuses on managing and analyzing information generated from digitized specimen slides. It utilizes computer-based technology and virtual microscopy to view, manage, share, and analyze digital slides on computer monitors.[1] This field has applications in diagnostic medicine and aims to achieve more efficient and cost-effective diagnoses, prognoses, and disease predictions through advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence in healthcare.[2][3]
