Validating Whole Slide Imaging for Diagnostic Purposes in Pathology

This clinical guideline, now available in Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, is the first-of-its kind and marks a significant step forward in demonstrating the value of this emerging technology for diagnostic use.

The document serves as a practical guide for pathologists and laboratories to confirm the accuracy and concordance of their own whole slide imaging (WSI) systems for diagnostic work while ensuring the digital tool is being used properly for its intended clinical purpose in an effort to deliver optimal patient care.
