Pilot AI analysis of digital tissue sections

Pathologists analyse tissue sections digitally

Future prospectStrictly regulatedSupporting specialist findingsHospitals & medical practices

Fits: Health & care

On scanned sections, software marks suspicious areas, counts mitoses or estimates the proportion of stained cells. This can speed up routine work and make counts more consistent. It requires digital pathology with scanners and storage, which many institutes are only just building. Individual applications are in use, but it is not yet widespread in everyday practice.

Is this for you?

  • Your institute already scans sections or is planning the switch to digital reporting.
  • You want to test early whether AI helps with a clearly defined task, e.g. prostate biopsies or counting immunohistochemical stains, and can set aside time for validation.
  • There are specialists who are responsible for the pilot and validation.
First step today

Without patient data: use the template below to draft a checklist of your prerequisites for digital pathology and AI, including pilot criteria. You answer the questions internally; the head of the institute sets the target values.

How to go about it

  1. Define the pilot task and specialist responsibility
  2. Choose only CE-marked software for laboratory diagnostics
  3. Scan digitally and integrate the analysis into reporting
  4. Validate on your own sections
  5. Train pathologists and laboratory technicians (MTL)
  6. Document results and deviations
