Getting Started with AI in Pulmonary Pathology

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

Pulmonary pathology divides cleanly for AI purposes. Thoracic oncology — lung carcinoma subtyping, biomarker assessment, staging — is a high-volume, well-funded, heavily studied domain. Interstitial lung disease is a low-volume, pattern-based, multidisciplinary domain where the pathologist’s contribution is one input among several.

Who it is for

  • Pathologists in pulmonary pathology 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.
