Abstract
A system includes a microscope configured to magnify a pathology sample, a camera positioned to record magnified pathology images from the microscope, a pathology database including reference pathology images, and a display configured to show the magnified pathology images. A processing apparatus is coupled to the camera, the pathology database, and the display. The processing apparatus includes instructions that when executed by the processing apparatus cause the system to perform operations. The operations include comparing the magnified pathology images to the reference pathology images included in the pathology database; identifying one or more regions of interest in the magnified pathology images; and alerting, using the display, a user of the microscope to the one or more regions of interest in the magnified pathology images while the pathology sample is being magnified with the microscope.
