Abstract

Digital pathology has rapidly evolved in the field of veterinary medicine. Although digital histology advancements are widely discussed, clinical pathology specimens are also being digitized for a variety of purposes. These digital images can be used for diagnostic evaluation, teaching, training, and research. With recent advancements in artificial intelligence technologies, there is also potential for image analysis of clinical pathology specimens. In contrast to histologic specimens, veterinary practices can process and digitize cytologic specimens in-house. This creates workflows and analytical considerations that differ greatly from the digital pathology process in anatomic pathology. Through the evaluation of published literature, conference proceedings, and commercially advertised services or analyzers, this review summarizes available digital diagnostic services, discusses virtual microscopy in education and research, and explains the concepts of image analysis. We also highlight gaps in the literature regarding digitizing clinical pathology specimens. Finally, we review the overall benefits and limitations of digitization, focusing on the unique aspects of veterinary clinical pathology.

数字病理学在兽医临床病理学中的应用综述。

数字病理学在兽医学领域发展迅速。尽管数字化组织学的进展被广泛讨论，临床病理标本也被数字化用于各种目的。这些数字图像可用于诊断评估、教学、培训和研究。随着人工智能技术的进步，临床病理标本的图像分析也有潜力。与组织学标本相比，兽医实践可以在内部处理和数字化细胞学标本。这创建了与解剖病理学中的数字病理学过程有很大不同的工作流程和分析考虑。通过对已发表的文献、会议记录和商业广告服务或分析仪的评估，本综述总结了现有的数字诊断服务，讨论了虚拟显微镜在教育和研究中的应用，并解释了图像分析的概念。我们还强调了文献中关于数字化临床病理标本的空白。最后，我们回顾了数字化的总体优势和局限性，重点是兽医临床病理学的独特方面。

期刊介绍： Veterinary Pathology (VET) is the premier international publication of basic and applied research involving domestic, laboratory, wildlife, marine and zoo animals, and poultry. Bridging the divide between natural and experimental diseases, the journal details the diagnostic investigations of diseases of animals; reports experimental studies on mechanisms of specific processes; provides unique insights into animal models of human disease; and presents studies on environmental and pharmaceutical hazards.
