Abstract

Whole-slide imaging (WSI) has wide spectrum of application in histopathology, especially in the study of cancer including papillary thyroid carcinoma. The main applications of WSI system include research, teaching, and assessment and recently pathology practices. The other major advantages of WSI over histological sections on glass slides are easier storage and sharing of information as well as adaptation of use in artificial intelligence. The applications of WSI depend on factors such as volume of services requiring WSI, physical factors (computer server, bandwidth limitation of networks, storages requirements for data), adaption of the WSI images with the laboratory workflow, personnel (IT expert, pathologist, technicians) adaptation to the WSI workflow, validation studies, ethics, and cost efficiency of the application(s).
