“It used to take 40 minutes, now it takes 15” - this is what Dr. Alae Kawam said about her AI-powered prostate biopsy evaluation workflow.  

In this energizing episode of the Digital Pathology Podcast recorded at PathVisions 2024, Dr. Alae Kawam joins me to reflect on where pathology is headed—from AI-assisted prostate diagnostics to direct-to-digital imaging and beyond. Together, we unpack what’s working, what still feels clunky, and why standardization, staffing flexibility, and smarter AI are critical to the next phase of pathology adoption.


🧠 Key Highlights:

  • [00:01:00] Foundation models finally reach real-world pathology


  • [00:02:00] Direct-to-digital imaging vs. glass hesitation


  • [00:03:00] AI in prostate diagnosis: Gleason grading + time saved


  • [00:04:00] The “eyeball method” vs. reproducible AI precision


  • [00:05:00] DICOM and radiology’s standardization lessons


  • [00:06:00] The ROI debate: business, operations & wellness


  • [00:08:00] Staffing retention driving real-world digitization


  • [00:09:00] New paths to part-time work with digital options


  • [00:10:00] Networking, community & raising the online voice of pathology
