Rishabha Malviya
Abstract
The increasing use of digital technologies has made it possible to incorporate machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) into pathology. However, the utilization of these advancements is still in its earliest stages, and no randomized prospective trials have yet been conducted to illustrate the benefits of AI-based diagnostics. The present body of research pertaining to AI in the domain of pathology primarily centers around helping in routine diagnostic tasks and facilitating prognostication. The healthcare industry is just now beginning to acknowledge the potential of AI, a rapidly growing area of modern technology. The field of pathology is expected to have significant effects from the implementation of AI. The growing prevalence of digital pathology (DP) by laboratories is expected to serve as a crucial foundation for the implementation of these technologies, leading to their practical utilization in diagnostic practice. The utilization of AI in the domain of pathology holds promise for the development of image analysis tools. These tools have the ability to function as diagnostic aids or to provide new perspectives on disease biology, complementing the capabilities of human observers. DP has become a well-known concept among pathologists; nonetheless, comprehending the engineering and mathematical principles underlying DP remains challenging for a significant number of pathologists. Computer-aided pathology (CAP) facilitates the diagnostic process for pathologists. However, there are individuals who regard CAP as a potential threat to the pathology profession and have issues about its clinical efficacy. The introduction of DP poses significant challenges for pathologists due to the need to address technical considerations, workflow implications, and information technology infrastructure.
