Emerging
Technologies refer to new and innovative advancements that are
in the early stages of development and adoption, and which have the potential
to significantly impact various fields. In the context of digital pathology and
healthcare, emerging technologies are those that introduce novel methods,
tools, and processes to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and capabilities of diagnostic
and research activities.
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning
Deep Learning Algorithms:
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): Used for analysing
complex patterns in pathology images, such as tumor detection and
classification. CNNs can learn from large datasets to identify subtle features
that may be missed by human pathologists.
Object Detection: AI algorithms are being developed to
locate and classify specific structures within pathology slides, such as
identifying different cell types or pathological features.
Predictive Analytics:
Outcome Prediction: AI models analyze pathology data to
predict patient outcomes and treatment responses, aiding in personalized
medicine and risk stratification.
2. Advanced Imaging Techniques
High-Content Imaging:
Multispectral Imaging: Allows for the simultaneous
visualization of multiple biomarkers or molecular targets within a single
slide. This technique provides a richer, more detailed view of tissue samples.
3D Imaging:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Provides
three-dimensional imaging of tissue samples, offering detailed information on
tissue architecture and pathology. This technology is useful for studying
complex structures and layers within tissues.
Multiplexed Imaging:
Multiplex Immunohistochemistry (mIHC): Enables the
simultaneous detection of multiple proteins or biomarkers in a single tissue
section, providing comprehensive insights into tumor biology and immune
responses.
3. Digital Slide Scanning Innovations
High-Speed Scanners:
Increased Throughput: New high-speed whole slide scanners
are capable of processing large volumes of slides more quickly, improving
efficiency in busy diagnostic labs.
Miniaturized and Portable Scanners:
Compact Devices: Portable scanners designed for
smaller labs or fieldwork provide flexibility and accessibility for digital
pathology applications in diverse settings.
