Abstract:
Integration of digital pathology (DP) into clinical diagnostic workflows is increasingly receiving attention as new hardware and software become available. To facilitate the adoption of DP, the Swiss Digital Pathology Consortium (SDiPath) organized a Delphi process to produce a series of recommendations for DP integration within Swiss clinical environments. This process saw the creation of 4 working groups, focusing on the various components of a DP system (1) scanners, quality assurance and validation of scans, (2) integration of Whole Slide Image (WSI)-scanners and DP systems into the Pathology Laboratory Information System, (3) digital workflow-compliance with general quality guidelines, and (4) image analysis (IA)/artificial intelligence (AI), with topic experts for each recruited for discussion and statement generation. The work product of the Delphi process is 83 consensus statements presented here, forming the basis for \"SDiPath Recommendations for Digital Pathology\". They represent an up-to-date resource for national and international hospitals, researchers, device manufacturers, algorithm developers, and all supporting fields, with the intent of providing expectations and best practices to help ensure safe and efficient DP usage.
摘要:
随着新的硬件和软件变得可用,将数字病理学(DP)集成到临床诊断工作流程中越来越受到关注。为了促进DP的采用,瑞士数字病理学协会(SDiPath)组织了一个Delphi程序,为瑞士临床环境中的DP整合提出了一系列建议.在这个过程中,成立了4个工作组,专注于DP系统的各种组件(1)扫描仪,质量保证和扫描验证,(2)将全幻灯片图像(WSI)扫描仪和DP系统集成到病理实验室信息系统中,(3)数字化工作流程-符合一般质量方针,和(4)图像分析(IA)/人工智能(AI),每个招募的主题专家进行讨论和陈述生成。Delphi过程的工作成果是这里提出的83个共识声明,形成“数字病理学SDiPath建议”的基础。它们代表了国内和国际医院的最新资源,研究人员,设备制造商,算法开发人员,和所有支持领域,旨在提供期望和最佳实践,以帮助确保安全和高效的DP使用。
