Description

In the assessment of disease stage, liver pathology is still largely based on semi-quantitative methods. Recent advances in whole slide imaging have opened the door for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and the creation of machine learning (ML) algorithms.

  • What exactly is digital pathology?
  • How can it be implemented in different disease areas?
  • Can it be used in routine clinical practice?
