Digital pathology is the technique of analyzing high-resolution digitally scanned histology images, which may then be analyzed using computational tools and algorithms. Digital pathology is enabled in part by virtual microscopy, a method of capturing microscopic images and transmitting them over computer networks. This allows independent viewing of images by large numbers of people in diverse locations.
Digital camera equipped microscopes may zoom onto a specific region on a slide to provide higher resolution of the area. In another strategy, the whole histology glass slide is scanned with the help of a high-resolution image scanner. In both cases, a pathologist reviews the digital image information to arrive at a test result. The role of computer-based imaging is very important and helps pathologists in making a diagnostic decision. Therefore, digital pathology is an intersection of traditional pathology and computers that is capable of replacing the conventional microscope-based diagnosis in the near future. Digital imaging combined with the use of powerful bioinformatics tools promise to radically change the future of pathology.
