About This Course
Digital pathology represents a major shift in diagnostic medicine, offering improved efficiency, scalability, and accessibility. This course begins by examining the transition from analog to digital pathology, exploring critical components such as slide scanners, image acquisition systems, and integration with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS). Participants will gain insight into telepathology and the development of automated pipelines for diagnostic workflows, leveraging artificial intelligence and metadata-driven image analysis. Across 4 Weeks, you will work hands-on with slide scanners and image acquisition systems, then consolidate everything in a capstone project. Every participant receives a verified e-Certificate and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
