Abstract

AIMS: In routine diagnosis of lymphoma, initial non-specialist triage is carried out when the sample is biopsied to determine if referral to specialised haematopathology services is needed. This places a heavy burden on pathology services, causes delays and often results in over-referral of benign cases. We aimed to develop an automated triage system using artificial intelligence (AI) to enable more accurate and rapid referral of cases, thereby addressing these issues.
