November 2019 Issue of The Pathologist

This month’s special digital pathology themed issue celebrates all the field’s exciting achievements to date, and where they might lead in the future. We speak to X-Wow! creator Yuchun Ding to explore how the digital transition is helping resource-limited laboratories to expand their capabilities. His ambition to open doors for pathologists in the poorest areas is impacting those across the globe – and we speak to Peter Carey and Olaleke Folaranmi to learn more about the impacts. In addition, discover how AI can help to reduce diagnostic error, explore what augmented intelligence can offer pathology, and learn how to make the best business case for digital pathology. We also sit down with Liron Pantanowitz, Professor of Pathology and Biomedical Informatics at the University of Pittsburgh and Vice Chair for Pathology Informatics at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, USA.
