History of the ADC Digital Pathology Working Group • Spring 2019 -Dr. Andrew Lieberman sent email to ADC Neuropathology Core Leaders soliciting for interested personnel. • Early May 2019- Confirmation of interested personnel and solicitation to other key personnel • Formed list of discussion topics • June 17, 2019-1st group meeting • Met on monthly basis • Sept 9, 2019 Survey sent • Oct 2, 2019- Compiled survey results Image from: https://www.globalharmonization.net/working-groups
Goals of the group • Assess needs and potential uses of digital neuropathology within the ADCs • Evaluate feasibility of implementation of technology across centers • Develop recommendations for the use of digital pathology by ADC Neuropathology cores First milestone: • Survey current benchmarks in ADC Neuropathology Cores regarding digital pathology
