Automated imaging systems work by integrating several key components:
1. Digital Microscopy: High-resolution digital cameras are attached to microscopes to capture detailed images of tissue samples. 2. Robotics: Automated slide scanners and robotic arms facilitate the handling and imaging of multiple slides without manual intervention. 3. Image Analysis Software: Advanced algorithms and machine learning models analyze the digital images to identify and quantify specific features such as cell types, abnormalities, and staining patterns. 4. Data Management: Cloud-based platforms store and manage the vast amounts of data generated, ensuring easy access and collaboration among pathologists.
