Digital Pathology Podcast

Send us Fan Mail How is digital pathology used in clinical trials? Because digital pathology as a discipline began with the aim of streamlining clinical trials, one could assume that this is currently the default. Unfortunately, this is not the case… In today's discussion, our guest, Dr. Monika Lamba, a pathologist from Q2 Solutions, the lab division of IQVIA, sheds light on how digital patho...

Send us Fan Mail In digital pathology is it  best to start small and incrementally implement the technology or go all in to reap all the the benefits at once? The good news is that those two approaches are not mutually exclusive, you can totally start small and scale up, and you can do it with just one vendor partner if you feel like it! This episode's guest is Leif Honda, Chief Innovation Of...

Send us Fan Mail The field of pathology has been revolutionized by the introduction of machine learning techniques, which enable more efficient and accurate diagnoses and have the potential to some day even eliminate or reduce the number of expensive molecular tests. However, the model development is a complex process and  there are certain mistakes that must be avoided when using machine learning...

Send us Fan Mail Today's podcast is about the regulatory aspect of digital pathology and how it fits into the space between research and clinical use called translational medicine. The podcast guest, Esther Abels , is a regulatory expert in digital pathology and a female leader in the field. She was involved in the team effort that brought the first Phillips clearance of a whole slide scanner...

Send us Fan Mail Today is the International Women's Day and this month at the Digital Pathology Podcast I decided to invite some incredible women who are leaders in the digital pathology field. Today's guest, Inti Zlobec is a professor of Digital Pathology at the University of Bern. Inti is now leading the digital pathology branch of the Institute for Tissue Medicine and Pathology , wher...

Send us Fan Mail Computational pathology – how did this field even start? In today’s episode my guest is Jeroen van der Laak, computational pathology professor at Radboud University Medical Center, who was recently listed on "The Pathologist Power List" in the category “Strange New worlds” Jeroen has been in the field of computational pathology for over 30 years and has seen it being cre...

Send us Fan Mail Although digital pathology was supposed to be faster and more seamless than classical pathology on glass there are still many manual steps in the workflow.  Cleaning slides before scanning Loading the scanner Controlling the quality after scanning... What if all this could be automated and all the manual work could be significantly reduced or even eliminated? Well it can! With the...

Send us Fan Mail Do you want to do tissue image analysis for FREE?  Cytomine is your tool. But so are QuPath, Cell Profiler, ImageJ, and several …  So how is Cytomine different? Cytomine focuses on collaboration (which is crucial in tissue image analysis projects!) and in addition to the free open-source version it also has a paid enterprise version. In this broadcast my guest Gregoire Vicky, the...

Send us Fan Mail I started working in the digital pathology space, because it sounded cool. When I started my digital pathology journey in 2016 as the first full time pathologist supporting the image analysis team, I thought it was the coolest job to get straight out of my veterinary pathology residency!   I was regarded as an expert (such a different feeling from what you experience during your t...

Send us Fan Mail Several scanners have been cleared by the FDA for clinical pathology work, but what about FDAs stand on all the nonclinical pathology work done in a regulatory environment? Specifically the work done in the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) compliant environment? Can we use the slides without restrictions in lieu of glass slides? What part of the digital pathology system do we need t...

Send us Fan Mail As much as I love Digital Pathology - things that are not always perfect, and the integrations of systems are not always seamless. We don't need to sugar coat it. And the sooner we start talking about the things that are not so cool, the sooner we will be able to change them. In this podcast episode I discuss the things that need to be improved with Puneet Pantane, the Co-Fou...

What is the difference? Are all the DICOM images the same or do they differ? how do the differences influence the technology developments and workflows? Is there a single best way of implementing D...
