Computer-aided pathology (CAP, also referred to as computeraided pathologic diagnostics, computational pathology, and computer-assisted pathology) refers to a computational diagnosis system or a set of methodologies that utilizes computers or software to interpret pathologic images
The Digital Pathology Association does not limit the definition of computational pathology to computer-based methodologies for image analysis, but rather as a field of pathology that uses AI methods to combine pathologic images and metadata from a variety of related sources to analyze patient specimens
The performance of computeraided diagnostic tools has improved with the development of AI and computer vision technology. Digitalized WSIs facilitate the development of computer-aided diagnostic tools through AI applications of intelligent behavior modeled by machines
