Utilization of Artificial Intelligence in Breast Pathology
An Overview
Keywords:
AI algorithm, anatomicpathology, artificial intelligence, breast cancer, digitized slides, whole slide imagesAbstract
In the last decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly used in various fields of medicine. Recently, the advent of whole slide images (WSI) or digitized slides has paved the way for AI-based anatomic pathology. This paper set out to review the potential integration of AI algorithms in the workflow, and the utilization of AI in the practice of breast pathology.
