Abstract
The next several years in digital pathology will certainly be exciting. As adoption of digital workflows continues, the opportunities to use image analysis will increase. The combination of AI techniques with traditional image analysis techniques may yield results which are superior to either of the techniques applied independently. The use of these techniques may complement the expertise of pathologists to provide improvements in diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and patient care.
