Abstract

Digital Pathology or whole slide imaging (WSI) is a diagnostic evaluation technique that produces digital images of high quality from tissue fragments. These images are formed on glass slides and evaluated by pathologist with the aid of microscope. As the concept of digital pathology is introduced, these high quality images are digitized and produced on-screen whole slide images in the form of digital files. This has paved the way for pathologists to collaborate with other pathology professionals in case of any additional recommendations and also provides remote working opportunities. The application of digital pathology in clinical practice is glazed with several advantages and adopted by pathologists and researchers for clinical, educational and research purposes. Moreover, digital pathology system integration requires an intensive effort from multiple stakeholders. All pathology departments have different needs, case usage, and blueprints, even though the framework elements and variables for effective clinical integration can be applied to any institution aiming for digital transformation. This article reviews the background and developmental phases of digital pathology and its application in clinical services, educational and research activities.

数字病理学应用的最新进展：初步诊断精神病理学，教育和研究。

数字病理学或全切片成像（WSI）是一种诊断评估技术，可以从组织碎片中产生高质量的数字图像。这些图像是在玻片上形成的，并由病理学家借助显微镜进行评估。随着数字病理概念的引入，这些高质量的图像被数字化，并以数字文件的形式在屏幕上产生整个幻灯片图像。这为病理学家在任何额外建议的情况下与其他病理学专业人员合作铺平了道路，也提供了远程工作的机会。数字病理学在临床实践中的应用具有许多优点，并被病理学家和研究人员用于临床，教育和研究目的。此外，数字病理系统集成需要多方利益相关者的大量努力。尽管有效临床整合的框架要素和变量可以应用于任何以数字化转型为目标的机构，但所有病理部门都有不同的需求、病例使用和蓝图。本文综述了数字病理学的背景和发展阶段及其在临床服务、教育和研究活动中的应用。

期刊介绍： Diagnostic Pathology is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that considers research in surgical and clinical pathology, immunology, and biology, with a special focus on cutting-edge approaches in diagnostic pathology and tissue-based therapy. The journal covers all aspects of surgical pathology, including classic diagnostic pathology, prognosis-related diagnosis (tumor stages, prognosis markers, such as MIB-percentage, hormone receptors, etc.), and therapy-related findings. The journal also focuses on the technological aspects of pathology, including molecular biology techniques, morphometry aspects (stereology, DNA analysis, syntactic structure analysis), communication aspects (telecommunication, virtual microscopy, virtual pathology institutions, etc.), and electronic education and quality assurance (for example interactive publication, on-line references with automated updating, etc.).
