Pathology imaging

Pathology imaging is also known as digital pathology, which enabled by the computer technology that allowed for the management of information generated from a digital slide. The field of digital pathology has exploded and is currently regarded as one of the most promising avenues of diagnostic medicine in order to achieve even better, faster and cheaper diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of cancer and other important diseases. In digital pathology, the pathologists take a slide under a microscope which is stained to highlight structures, which are analysed in using computer algorithms. Algorithms may be automated to manual counting and classify the condition of the tissue such as used in grading tumours. Digital pathology is widely used for educational purposes in research projects. Digital pathology in diagnostics is an emerging and upcoming field.
