The technology in digital pathology has been with us for some time. It now, though, seems we've hit an inflection point and things are accelerating. Perhaps we are even in the perfect storm. There seems to be a certain sense of inevitability and it may be time to open the floodgates and release the promise of digital pathology.

Our guests are Colin White - Senior Vice President and General Manager, Advanced Staining & Imaging at Leica Biosystems and Frank Gannon, Professor of Pathology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston Texas.

We’re going to be talking about the value proposition of digital pathology.

What are the challenges to implementation? What’s been holding us back and are these barriers beginning to crumble? What does digital pathology mean for patient involvement?

And we're going to be talking about artificial intelligence, machine learning, remote sign out, remote case sharing and what going digital means in terms of workflows for the typical pathology department.
