At present, the three main applications of digital pathology are pathology department management, pathological remote consultation and pathological artificial intelligence, which can realize the standardized management of pathology department, greatly shorten the workload of pathologists, improve the accuracy and efficiency of clinical pathological diagnosis, and improve the level of pathological diagnosis in grassroots hospitals. Among them, pathological remote consultation is the most extensive and mature field. Digital pathology is a new technology, there are still some challenges, need to improve.
