This episode of Digital Pathology Today™ our guests are Angelique Levi, MD and Dr. Sudhir Perincheri, PhD, MBBS from Yale School of Medicine.

They're coming - AI and machine learning algorithms in digital pathology. How do we go about assessing the robustness and suitability of these new tool for use in actual clinical practice?

We're talking about how new tools are going to be incorporated into clinical practice, and the impact of these new tools in various practice settings, such as academic medical centers, community outreach, and private practice. What does this mean for the training of the next generation of pathologists? We're only human, after all, but what about machine algorithms? What level of mistakes or misses is allowable and what if these tools are too sensitive, could they actually slow us down and make life more complicated for us?

Dr. Angelique Levi is currently Associate Professor and Vice Chair and Director of Pathology Outreach Services in the Department of Pathology at the Yale University School of Medicine. She obtained her Bachelor of Science from Union College with honors from the Biology Society. She received her Medical Degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine, Rochester, NY, and was awarded the Medical School Dean’s research scholarship and the Hawkins Pathology Award from the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. She subsequently received her residency training in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology followed by fellowship training in Cytopathology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Additionally, during her training at Johns Hopkins she developed subspecialty expertise in genitourinary pathology. She is board certified in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, Cytopathology and is an attending pathologist in genitourinary pathology, thoracic pathology, and the cytopathology services at Yale New Haven Hospital.

Dr. Levi presents regularly at the Smilow Yale Cancer Center Prostate Tumor Board and the Head and Neck Tumor Board, and Co-directs the Multidisciplinary Gynecologic Colposcopy Correlation Conference. Dr. Levi is a clinical investigator in the Clinician Educator track. Her research interests are primarily in the areas of gynecologic cytology and prostate pathology.

Dr. Sudhir Pericheri completed his residency in Anatomic Pathology/Clinical Pathology as well as fellowship training in hematopathology, renal and genitourinary pathology in the Departments of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Yale. After completing his training, he was recruited as faculty in the department of Pathology where he signs out in the three subspecialties. In addition to these subspecialties, he is also interested in the evolution and application of Digital Pathology as well as Transplant Pathology.
