Advancing Diagnostic Pathology: Impact of Digital Pathology and Artificial Intelligence tools

Digital Pathology including whole slide imaging (WSI) has the potential to make the pathology workflow and reporting a more robust and dynamic process with many advanced features including incorporation of image analysis and computer-aided diagnosis.  The process of “digitisation” should be viewed as an opportunity to truly advance a pathology practice leading to an improvement in the pathology reporting process as well as improving patient care.

The objectives of this presentation are to discuss key factors including technology, people, infrastructure and finances to consider when implementing digital pathology for clinical diagnostics. Dr. Anil Parwani will provide practical tips in selecting digital pathology systems and specific applications based on digital pathology implementation experience at major academic centre. There will be discussion on what works today and what the future directions are for this exciting technology.

Dr. Anil Parwani is a Professor of Pathology at The Ohio State University. He serves as the Vice Chair and Director of Anatomical Pathology. Dr. Parwani is also the Director of Pathology Informatics and Director of the Digital Pathology Shared Resource at The James Cancer Hospital.
