Validation of a digital pathology WSI viewer - Case Study
This study presents a validation of the digital pathology system to assess the feasibility of remote slide review and evaluate the performance and usability of whole slide scanners and viewers. Pathologists at Memorial Sloan Kettering, a world leading cancer center, reviewed digitized whole-slide images, followed by a review of the same case on traditional glass ...

CPT Codes: An Exciting Step Forward for Digital Pathology
Digital pathology has been rising in popularity over the past few years, thanks to the many efficiencies it offers pathologists. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has recognized this shift by announcing the introduction of 13 new Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for digital pathology, set to go into effect in January 2023. The codes are Category III, defined as a ...

The Power of Digital Pathology: Why Labs Everywhere Should Make the Switch
Pathology as it is practiced today in labs around the world is not all that different from the pathology of the 19th century. The microscope has changed relatively little since then, and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained slides remain the bread and butter of the pathologist. Yet it is not for lack of technological development; in recent years, digital pathology whole slide scanners, digital ...

A Robust Computer-Aided Approach for Scoring and Quantitative Evaluation of Whole Slide Digital Images of HER2 Immunohistochemistry in Breast Cancer
HER2 is recognized as an essential prognostic parameter in breast cancer. Usually interpretation of HER2 negative cases which has no membrane staining or has faint and weak incomplete cells and also positive cases (3+) that consist of strong and complete cell are easy but cells with moderate and weak HER2 staining (2+ or equivocal) require further analysis with fluorescence in situ hybridization ...

Segmentation of the Main Structures in Hematoxylin and Eosin Images
Pathologists conduct a biopsy on a tissue when a carcinoma case for a patient is suspected. They stain the cells on that tissue using some biochemical materials that react with a certain cell element. They put stained cells onto a slide and examine the cells by using an optical microscope device. In our case, we will focus on H&E stained breast tissue samples. Pathologists keep track of a ...

An Automated and Accurate Methodology to Assess Ki-67 Labeling Index of Immunohistochemical Staining Images of Breast Cancer Tissues
Automatic scoring of Ki-67 with digital image analysis would improve the accuracy of the diagnostic. However, automatic Ki-67 assessment is very challenging due to complex variations of cell characteristics. In this paper, we propose an integrated framework for accurate Ki-67 scoring. The main contributions of our method are: a robust cell detection algorithm to detect all tumor and non-tumor ...
