Abstract:Improved image quality, better scanners, innovative software technologies, enhanced computational power, superior network connectivity, and the ease of virtual image reproduction and distribution are driving the potential use of digital pathology for diagnosis and education. Although relatively common in clinical oncology, its application in liver pathology is under development. Digital pathology and improving subjective histologic scoring systems could be essential in managing obesity-associated steatotic liver disease. The increasing use of digital pathology in analyzing liver specimens is particularly intriguing as it may offer a more detailed view of liver biology and eliminate the incomplete measurement of treatment responses in clinical trials. The objective and automated quantification of histological results may help establish standardized diagnosis, treatment, and assessment protocols, providing a foundation for personalized patient care. Our experience with artificial intelligence (AI)-based software enhances reproducibility and accuracy, enabling continuous scoring and detecting subtle changes that indicate disease progression or regression. Ongoing validation highlights the need for collaboration between pathologists and AI developers. Concurrently, automated image analysis can address issues related to the historical failure of clinical trials stemming from challenges in histologic assessment. We discuss how these novel tools can be incorporated into liver research and complement post-diagnosis scenarios where quantification is necessary, thus clarifying the evolving role of digital pathology in the field.
