Episode 1 - Liron Pantanowitz, MBBCh - Digital Pathology - Where Have We Been Over the Past 20 Years?

In this special first episode we will be talking with Dr. Liron Pantanowitz, from the University of Michigan about where digital pathology has been over the course of the past 20 years, seminal developments and advances in whole slide image and image analysis. We will discuss why it is taking so long for the full scale adoption of digital pathology in the clinical setting. In addition, we will examine the parallels and differences between the specialties of pathology and radiology, the benefits of switching to a fully digitized system, and what are the practical considerations of going digital. We will also touch on regulatory concerns, the current state of AI applications, recent acceleration during the COVID-19 pandemic and how Dr. Pantanowitz sees the field evolving over the next 10 years and beyond.
