239: The Four Steps Pathology AI Demos Quietly Skip and Why They Matter

Send us Fan Mail What happens when a pathology AI model misses the tissue before it even begins—and can better segmentation, education, and virtual staining close the gaps? In DigiPath Digest #47, I review four recent studies that expose both the promise and the weak points of AI-assisted digital pathology. We start with a step that sounds simple: detecting tissue on a whole slide image. Yet when that first step fails, the downstream algorithm may miss cancer entirely. From there, I look at a...
