An update on applications of digital pathology: primary diagnosis; telepathology, education and research
Abstract Digital Pathology or whole slide imaging (WSI) is a diagnostic evaluation technique that produces digital images of high quality from tissue fragments. These images are formed on glass slides and evaluated by pathologist with the aid of microscope. As the concept of digital pathology is int...

| description | Abstract Digital Pathology or whole slide imaging (WSI) is a diagnostic evaluation technique that produces digital images of high quality from tissue fragments. These images are formed on glass slides and evaluated by pathologist with the aid of microscope. As the concept of digital pathology is introduced, these high quality images are digitized and produced on-screen whole slide images in the form of digital files. This has paved the way for pathologists to collaborate with other pathology professionals in case of any additional recommendations and also provides remote working opportunities. The application of digital pathology in clinical practice is glazed with several advantages and adopted by pathologists and researchers for clinical, educational and research purposes. Moreover, digital pathology system integration requires an intensive effort from multiple stakeholders. All pathology departments have different needs, case usage, and blueprints, even though the framework elements and variables for effective clinical integration can be applied to any institution aiming for digital transformation. This article reviews the background and developmental phases of digital pathology and its application in clinical services, educational and research activities. |
