AI in Digital Pathology
You'll be able to evaluate AI-assisted pathology tools and interpret their output within a diagnostic workflow.
What this track covers
This track covers how AI systems support tissue analysis, from whole slide imaging fundamentals to algorithm-assisted cancer detection and quantification. It focuses on how clinicians interpret, verify, and integrate AI output into pathology workflows rather than on building the algorithms themselves.
What you will practice
- Recognize what whole slide imaging can and cannot capture compared to glass slides
- Interpret AI-flagged regions of interest on a scanned specimen
- Evaluate AI-assisted quantification of cell counts or mitotic figures for plausibility
- Review AI-generated IHC scoring against expected staining patterns
- Identify workflow points where AI output requires pathologist confirmation before use
Simulator scenario
A simulator case presenting a scanned tissue specimen with AI-generated annotations that the clinician must review, question, and either confirm or override before finalizing an interpretation.
Board question topics
- Whole slide imaging fundamentals
- AI-assisted cancer detection limitations
- Quantitative image analysis interpretation
- AI-assisted IHC scoring pitfalls
