4 years **_Every day, clinics worldwide generate vast amounts of digital data on healthy and diseased individuals. Digital pathology alone, with its high-resolution imaging of tissue samples, provides wealth of large-scale data that can contribute to improved understanding of disease morphology and tissue phenotype, potentially providing new insights to help clinicians treating patients in their decision-making process. Will you help us?_**

In this project, we will investigate and optimize the process of adopting AI CPATH models in the clinic, focusing on clinicians’ needs in clinical decision making when diagnosing and treating cancer patients. Within the context of a KWF-funded project, we will use CPATH models for breast cancer digital pathology as a use case and focus on their use in informing pathologists and oncologists on personalized treatment plans. We will also develop case studies based on demo installations of AI models in clinical practice to evaluate its implementation and performance in a setting close to clinical practice.

The Computational Pathology Group (CPG) is a research group of the department of Pathology of the Radboud University Medical Center (Radboudumc). The CPG develops, validates and deploys novel medical image analysis methods, usually based on the newest advances in machine learning with a focus on computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). Application areas include diagnostics and prognostics of breast, colon, prostate and lung cancer. Our group is among the international front runners in the field, witnessed for instance by the highly successful CAMELYON, PANDA and TIGER grand challenges which we organized. The CPG is also part of the cross-departmental Diagnostic Image Analysis Group (DIAG) at Radboudumc, with researchers in the departments of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Pathology and Ophthalmology.
