How is AI used in digital pathology?

AI refines digital pathology by automating tasks that traditionally relied on manual interpretation and accelerating biomarker discovery. AI-enabled algorithms can quantify features and analyze complex patterns in digital pathology images, significantly aiding in the scoring of biomarkers and evaluation of diseases, sometimes beyond the capabilities of human pathologists. By predicting patient-specific treatment responses and outcomes, AI can also help optimize therapeutic strategies in personalized medicine.
