Validation of Digital Pathology for Primary Histopathological Diagnosis of Routine, Inflammatory Dermatopathology Cases

Abstract

Our findings indicate that DP is sufficient for primary diagnosis in inflammatory dermatopathology. Higher magnification scanning may be required to identify submicron features, such as microorganisms. Subtle differences in image quality between these 2 modalities may contribute to varied histologic interpretations of which pathologists should be aware when validating clinical DP systems.
