Dr. Ulysses G.J. Balis to Speak on the Promises and Challenges of Digital Imaging as Applied to Pathology, August 8
SYNOPSIS:
Pathology, as a diagnostic specialty, is well along in its adoption and use of digital images for routine clinical workflow, research and education. However, with an anticipated deluge of image-based data, combined with the reality that many scientists within the collective domains of pathology and its affiliated life sciences specialties are largely unprepared to manage such large digital repositories, there emerges a challenge to make best use of this data. This presentation will highlight several promising areas of digital image algorithm development that can help to span the divide between life scientist and imaging informaticist, with a focus on actual workflow models.
