The Imaging Informatics Clinical Interspace Between Radiology and Pathology (2021)-M4-CIN07-2021

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the integration of radiology and pathology into a unified diagnostic approach known as integrated diagnostics. The key aim is to aggregate data from in vivo (e.g., radiology) and in vitro (e.g., pathology) diagnostics with clinical data to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient care. The discussion emphasizes the importance of imaging informatics for creating a holistic diagnostic process, streamlining workflow from test ordering to comprehensive reporting. Several experts outline the challenges and advancements in integrating these fields, focusing on the technology and workflow involved. Digital pathology is highlighted as revolutionary, incorporating AI for precision medicine, and overcoming traditional manual processes with automation and quality improvements. The workflow integration in healthcare systems involves capturing diverse data types, ensuring they are accessible for efficient professional collaboration, teaching, research, and patient management. The session concludes with examples like The Ohio State University's and Hospital for Special Surgery's implementation of integrated systems, demonstrating practical applications, benefits, and the significant evolution toward a seamless integration between radiology and pathology to improve patient outcomes.
