What is pathology image analysis?

Pathology image analysis is the use of computer algorithms and software to examine and interpret digital images of tissue samples, often obtained through microscopes. This technology assists pathologists in identifying disease characteristics, quantifying features such as cell counts or molecular markers, and improving diagnostic accuracy. Automated image analysis can speed up workflows, reduce human error, and enable more objective and reproducible assessments, particularly in cancer diagnosis and research. It is an evolving field that combines pathology, computer vision, and artificial intelligence.
