Journal: Bioinformation
Published Date: Dec 31, 2024

Abstract

Digital pathology (DP) has revolutionized oral and maxillofacial pathology (OMP) by enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, leading to improved patient outcomes. Therefore, it is of interest to report on the potential of Whole Slide Imaging (WSI), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and telepathology in OMP, highlighting their role in facilitating remote consultations and automated image analysis. AI and Machine Learning (ML) have further advanced cancer diagnosis by improving pattern recognition and predictive accuracy. While Digital pathology offers numerous benefits, challenges such as data management and ethical considerations remain. Future research should explore ways to further integrate Digital pathology into OMP practice.
