What safeguards and regulations would you like to see in place for AI pathology?

With artificial intelligence (AI) becoming ever more sophisticated and prevalent across society, combined with advances in digital pathology and the fast-paced progress in deep learning, we may be on the cusp of the era of AI in pathology. However, with technical, logistical and ethical barriers in place, we look at what measures are needed before widespread clinical adoption.

Celebrating IBMS exam success

It is time to celebrate the success of more IBMS members in the Diploma of Expert Practice (DEP) or Advanced Specialist Diploma (ASD) in Histological Dissection and the DEP in Immunocytochemistry exams.

Advanced and consultant practice roles

Sarah May and Chris Ward from the IBMS look at advanced and consultant roles and discuss new developments and qualifications.

Tissue contamination distracts AI

In a new study, scientists trained three AI models to scan microscope slides of placenta tissue to detect blood vessel damage, estimate gestational age and classify macroscopic lesions.

“Collagen a key player in breast cancer metastasis”

Collagen type XII plays a key role in regulating the organisation of the tumour matrix, reveals a new study.

Frozen testicular tissue still viable after two decades

Male testis tissue that is cryopreserved can be reimplanted after more than 20 years and will make viable sperm, according to a new study in rodents.

AI can predict Crohn’s disease recurring after surgery

Using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that emulates how humans visualise and is trained to recognise and classify images, investigators constructed a model that predicts the postoperative recurrence of Crohn’s disease with high accuracy by evaluating histological images.
