Abstract: Digital pathology is the concept of capturing digital images from glass microscope slides in order to record, visualize, analyze, manage, report, share and diagnose pathology specimens. The present disclosure is directed to a desktop slide scanner, which enables pathologists to scan slides at a touch of a button. Included is a workflow for reliable imaging, diagnosis, quantification, management, and sharing of a digital pathology library. Also disclosed herein is an analysis framework that provides for pattern recognition of biological samples represented as digital images to automatically quantitatively score normal cell parameters against disease state parameters. The framework provides a pathologist with an opportunity to see what the algorithm is scoring, and simply agree, or edit the result. This framework offers a new tool to enhance the precision of the current standard of care.
