Getting Started with AI in Hematopathology

A practical primer for the practising pathologist — what the technology actually does in haematopathology, what to ask of it, and how to start safely.

Hematopathology is the most data-integrative discipline in the laboratory. A single diagnosis of acute myeloid leukaemia routinely fuses morphology, immunophenotype by flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and a next-generation sequencing panel — then places the result against a classification system that is itself being rewritten around genomics. The American Society of Hematology’s 2025 position paper in Blood framed this precisely: the diagnosis and treatment of haematologic disorders depend on integrating imaging, path

Who it is for

  • Pathologists in haematopathology meeting diagnostic AI for the first time
  • Laboratory leads assessing vendor claims and planning validation
  • Trainees who want the regulatory and methodological context, not marketing
Educational guidance, not clinical protocol or regulatory advice. Algorithm authorisations and validation requirements change — confirm the current position with your regulator and your own quality system.
