Digital Pathology Congress Speaker and Program Highlights, December 4-5, London, UK
Whole Slide Imaging
In a co-authored paper that appeared in the Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, Liron Pantanowitz looked at the trend for using whole slide imaging (WSI) for diagnostic purposes and if it can safely replace conventional light microscopy as the method by which pathologists review histologic sections, cytology slides and/or hematology slides to render diagnoses. The paper includes twelve guideline statements intended to help pathology laboratories validate their own WSI systems.
Liron Pantanowitz, Associate Professor of Pathology & Biomedical Informatics, Director of the Pathology Informatics Fellowship Program and Associate Director of the Pathology Informatics Division at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, USA is making a keynote address at the Digital Pathology Congress.
Paul van Diest, Department of Pathology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Netherlands will also present on Improving WSI workflow.

Several speakers at the Digital Pathology Congress recently co-published The history of pathology informatics: A global perspective in the Journal of Pathology Informatics. They write “In this monograph, for the first time in the history of our discipline, we collectively perform a global review of the field of pathology informatics. In doing so, we illustrate how general far‑reaching trends such as the advent of computers, the Internet and digital imaging have affected pathology informatics in the world at large.”
