What happened in Digital and Computational Pathology at the European Congress of Pathology, Basel, 2022?

Abstract

The WG Digital & Computational Pathology, formerly called the WG IT (Computational) enjoyed an active presence at the 34th European Congress of Pathology (ECP) 2022 in Basel. Whether tackling the important question of “AI: useful or useless” in different disease entities, to a live demonstration of “AI in the wild” during the hugely popular Computational One-Day Symposium, or discussing critical aspects of quality management and ethics at the AI Taskforce meeting, the presence of digital and computational pathology could certainly be felt. Importantly, abstracts for poster sessions and oral free papers were abundant, highlighting the increasing relevance and interest of these topics for pathologists across Europe and beyond. Here, we give a short report on the activities connected to digital & computational pathology at the ECP.
