In this special edition of Digital Pathology Today, we're recapping Pathology Visions 2020 - the premier meeting in digital pathology, which is, of course, put on by the Digital Pathology Association (DPA).

We'll be talking with Abbey Norris, the executive director of the Digital Pathology Association and Michael Rivers of Roche Tissue Diagnostics and the current president of the DPA. Abbey and Michael were instrumental in organizing this year's virtual meeting.

If there's one theme that's emerging, it’s that digital pathology is a reality in 2020. It is no longer pie-in-the-sky talk about what might happen at some point in the future. It is a reality in the practice of medicine in 2020. Changes in terms of adoption and innovation are only being accelerated by vast improvements in technology and artificial intelligence applications.

The global pandemic has certainly accelerated adoption - specifically remote sign out of actual patient cases in clinical practice.
