Cover Story: Successful adoption of digital pathology (DP) and AI depends upon the quality of digitised whole-slide images. The ability to automate image quality assessment will be important as more clinical laboratories adopt DP, and is likely to be an important consideration for the reliability of AI tools as these become available for diagnostic practice. In this feasibility study, we investigated the potential for PathProfiler, an automated image quality assessment tool, to be integrated into a prospective workflow in a real-world diagnostic pathology setting. We demonstrated the reliability of the tool in the identification of suboptimal WSI related particularly to biopsy specimens, flagging slides for remedial action such as re-scanning, and without significant impact on laboratory turnaround time.
