dc.description.abstract | Digital pathology means the display and interpretation of digitalized histopathological
sections on a computer monitor. The technology has many advantages in diagnostics,
education, and also in research activities. Whole slide scanners performing the digitization
are capable of scanning routinely (hematoxylin and eosin) stained sections, as well as slides
labeled with special procedures, immunohistochemistry (IHC) or in situ hybridization (ISH)
in high resolution. The resulting whole slide images (WSIs) can be examined with digital
image analysis softwares, capable of supracellular, cellular and subcellular structure
detection and differentiation in an objective and reproducible manner. | en_US |
