Digital pathology represents a significant advancement in histology. Its importance lies in several areas:
- Remote Diagnosis: Digital pathology allows pathologists to access and analyze samples remotely, which is especially beneficial in underserved areas. - Data Storage and Sharing: High-resolution digital images can be stored and shared easily, facilitating collaborative research and second opinions. - AI Integration: Digital platforms often integrate with artificial intelligence (AI) tools that can assist in diagnosing and quantifying tissue abnormalities.
