New histology, same rules? Approach to validation of slide-free multiphoton histology for clinical use

Description 

New technologies enable pathology interpretation without the need for physical slides, with consequent benefits in speed, cost, and access to experts and analysis tools. This webinar will focus on how to understand the impact of new techniques, especially multiphoton microscopy, on validation for clinical use. We will discuss a pathologist-centered approach to validation with consideration of similarities and differences to standard histology and existing frameworks for clinical implementation.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the slide-free technique of clearing histology with multiphoton microscopy
  
• Compare standard microscopic examination of physical slides to clearing histology with multiphoton microscopy
  
• Describe logic behind a stepwise approach for early validation of new digital pathology techniques such as multiphoton
