Abstract

BACKGROUND: Increasing digitalization enables the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in pathology. However, these technologies have only just begun to be implemented, and no randomized prospective trials have yet shown a benefit of AI-based diagnosis. In this review, we present current concepts, illustrate them with examples from representative publications, and discuss the possibilities and limitations of their use.
