    In conversation with Rahul Deb, Derby & Burton NHS Trust Episode 2

    This episode continues the conversation with Rahul, focusing on the practical realities of implementing digital pathology. Rahul explains why digitisation is not simply about replacing microscopes with scanners. Instead, it exposes wider laboratory challenges, from section quality and workflow design to IT infrastructure, LIMS–IMS integration, staffing, space, governance, and NHS data-sharing barriers. The discussion also explores the impact on day-to-day practice, including digital quality control, remote working, faster case sharing, and the transformation of MDT preparation. Rahul then reflects on the differences between pathology in the UK and India, before discussing AI bias, global datasets, and why broader representation will matter as algorithms enter clinical use. The episode closes with Rahul’s advice to young pathologists: see as much as possible, ask questions, and build strong relationships with clinical colleagues.

    In conversation with Rahul Deb, Derby & Burton NHS Trust Episode 1

    In this episode of the Pathology News podcast, Sidney Ocanagil-Tunstall speaks with Rahul Deb, Lead Breast and GI Pathologist at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Trust, about what it really takes to implement digital pathology in the NHS. Rahul reflects on his journey into pathology, from training in India to practising in the UK, before discussing Derby’s own digital transformation. The conversation covers whole slide imaging, speech-to-text reporting, validation, funding, training, and the practical challenges of moving from glass slides to digital workflows.Rahul also shares Derby’s approach to AI implementation in breast and prostate pathology, including the importance of clinical champions, staff engagement, and realistic business cases. Rather than presenting digitisation as a simple technology upgrade, the episode explores how digital pathology changes the way departments work, train, report, and prepare for the future of computational pathology.

    From Informatics to AI: Liron Pantanowitz on Leading Digital Pathology at Scale

    In this Thought Leaders episode, Sidney Ocanagil-Tunstall, Marketing Director of Pathology News, speaks with Liron Pantanowitz, Chair of Pathology at the University of Pittsburgh and a pioneer in digital pathology and computational pathology. With a career spanning pathology informatics, whole slide imaging, and AI-driven diagnostics, Liron shares his journey from early frustrations with analogue workflows to becoming a global leader in digital transformation. He reflects on the origins of digital pathology, the development of validation guidelines with the College of American Pathologists, and how evidence-based practice has evolved over time. The conversation explores how UPMC is scaling digital pathology across a vast network of hospitals, building one of the most ambitious AI ecosystems in healthcare. Liron discusses the creation of the CPACE AI Center, the integration of imaging, text, and tabular data, and the growing role of both traditional and generative AI in clinical workflows. They also dive into real-world implementation challenges—from interoperability and vendor integration to cultural resistance among pathologists—and why mindset remains one of the biggest barriers to adoption. Liron shares insights into deploying AI in live clinical practice, the current lack of reimbursement models, and what the future may hold for billing, regulation, and global adoption. Finally, the episode highlights innovative initiatives like the “scan van” concept for mobile digitisation, the importance of building digital archives, and why laboratories must act now to remain competitive in an increasingly AI-driven healthcare landscape.

    Pathology Bites: Ben Cahoon on IVDR Certification and the Future of Digital Pathology

    Following the recent CE IVDR certification for the Fusion AP platform, join us for this Pathology Bites interview, where we speak with Ben Cahoon, CEO of Techcyte, about achieving this certification. In this conversation, Ben explains what IVDR certification involves and why it represents a major regulatory shift from the previous IVDD framework. He discusses how stricter requirements, including notified body oversight and expanded clinical validation, are reshaping the landscape for digital pathology vendors and laboratories alike. The discussion also explores why regulatory approval is becoming a critical factor for adoption, giving laboratories the confidence to implement new technologies more efficiently. Ben shares how Fusion AP aims to support this transition, combining clinical and anatomic pathology in a single platform with integrated AI capabilities designed to improve workflow efficiency and diagnostic accuracy. The interview further examines the evolving role of AI in pathology, including the distinction between workflow-support tools and diagnostic algorithms, and how regulatory frameworks like IVDR will play a key role in ensuring innovation progresses alongside clinical trust. Finally, Ben looks ahead to Techcyte’s global expansion, including growth across Europe and ongoing efforts toward FDA clearance in the United States.
