Evaluation of Mitotic Activity Index in Breast Cancer Using Whole Slide Digital Images

Abstract

Scoring mitoses using WSI in breast cancer seems to be just as reliable and reproducible as when using a microscope. Further development of software and image quality will definitely encourage the use of WSI in routine pathology practice.
