Digital Pathology
“The future of Pathology is digital, where pathologists provide accurate diagnoses that are critical to physicians and patients.”
John Ozolek, MD
Professor and Clinical Director of Digital Pathology
The Department of Pathology, Anatomy and Laboratory Medicine (PALM) at the West
Virginia University School of Medicine is committed to providing high-value and state-of-
the-art pathology and clinical laboratory services, educating the next generation of
physicians, pathologists, laboratorians, and anatomical scientists and advancing pathology
and laboratory medicine practice through translational, clinical, and educational research.
- Digital Pathology allows us to distribute
images to our pathologists spread across
WVU Medicine, facilitating patient diagnosis,
specialist consultations, intraoperative
consults, and tumor boards. - Whole-slide images created through the
Digital Pathology Program enhances our
educational programs for Pathology residents,
medical students, histotechnologists,
pathologists’ assistants, and students
entering other healthcare fields. - By developing artificial intelligence and
machine-learning tools, we will transform
pathology practice and extend our
translational research programs.
