1. Proposed Workitem: Enhanced Imaging Workflow for Anatomic Pathology
- Editor: Thomas Scharder
The development of slide scanners offers the possibility to digitize glass slides in Pathology and this is the beginning of a new paradigm in this medical domain. New terms were created: Digital Pathology or Collaborativ Pathology expressing the new potentials in the diagnostic process.
Not only digital patient data but also Whole Slide Images (WSI) are available now and can be used for
- support of diagnostic process
- analysis of images
- further analysis of clinical data.
With digitalization of glass slides two different discussions begun:
1. The integration of the digitalization process into the general diagnostic process in a Pathology Department using business process modeling.
2. The integration of image analysis into the diagnostic process.
Meanwhile different scanning technologies are avialable and can be use to evaluate different diagnostic questions e.g. multispectral images allow an enhancement in image quality and analysis.
