AI-Assisted Pathology Ready For Mainstream

Laboratory scientists and clinical pathologists currently spend hours in darkened rooms analyzing and testing tissue and fluids of patients for evidence of disease. Unlike blood tests, which are performed using automated analyzers, pathology samples are subject to time-consuming manual microscopy. Digital pathology, which uses a computer controlled microscope to scan and produce images of the samples, has helped advance what is often tedious and subjective work. But it has its problems and is not widely adopted. Now scientists in …
