It has nothing to do with digital pathology. I live on a steep driveway in Flagstaff, Arizona. We get snow, about the same amount as Denver [...]

Radiology versus pathology: Not more quantitative, just more digital

At a molecular imaging meeting earlier this year, Flagship presented pharma regulatory compliance for digital pathology. Our talk was the only one on pathology. The others were all various presentations on the different modalities of radiology imaging applied to clinical trials — X-ray, MRIs, microCT scans, PET scans, CAT scans, dog scans, and so on A [...]
