The advent of new digitalization and telecommunication tools has made it possible to transform the “slides”, traditionally seen under the microscope, into “digital” images, visible on a computer screen. This process of scanning the images allows sharing even at a distance, the “navigation” of the slide. These digital images today represent true faithful copies of the cyto-histological slide with the possibility of using different magnifications and multiple planes of focus for their correct visualization (virtual microscopy), as if working with the “conventional” slide and microscope “. Anna Sabino, president of the Italian Society of Pathological Anatomy and Cytopathology, explains to us what the role of the anatomopathologist is today and how Artificial Intelligence is also changing diagnostics.
