Digital Pathology: How automation aids diagnoses

Digital pathology is an emerging clinical practice in which a pathologist makes diagnoses using digital images of tissues acquired with an automated high-throughput microscope and stored and viewed using a medical image database. Current whole slide scanners are 2D bright field scanners, envisioned follow-up scanners would broaden to 3D bright field imaging and 3D fluorescence imaging for FISH-analyses related to e.g. HER2-diagnosis for breast cancer treatment.
