Recent discourse led by radiologists Evis Sala and Mathias Goyen advocates for the merger of pathology and radiology to enhance precision medicine. Highlighted in the European Journal of Radiology Artificial Intelligence, this proposed integration aims to create a new hybrid 'diagnostician.' The argument posits that advancements in AI and digital health necessitate a unified approach to diagnostics by merging imaging, histopathology, and molecular analysis. This shift could address workforce shortages and improve diagnostic accuracy, particularly in cancer care, as supported by case studies and national bodies.
