The topic of digital pathology (I am using that to mean both whole-slide imaging and computer-assisted diagnosis) comes up sporadically on SDN, but it's been a long time and I think a new thread might be useful. I was curious what people's experiences with whole slide imaging systems were, and what you see as the future of digital pathology. I've met some attendings who are really enthusiastic about it, but what I hear on this forum sounds less so and I was surprised by that and interested in hearing peoples' thoughts/experiences.
It's a subject I find really interesting since long ago I had a strong interest in engineering and computer science.
I don't have experience with slide imagers myself...one of the hospitals I rotated at has one, but nobody uses it.
(Edited to add: I know there are a handful of pathology informatics fellowships...if you know anything about those it would be interesting to hear, too.)
