Pilot Study of Breast Pathology Diagnosis

A cohort of cases from the Breast Pathology Study (B-Path) was used for this analysis. The methods for test case identification and the development and recruitment of pathologists have been previously described (3 (link), 7 (link)). Briefly, single, representative diagnostic slides from excisional or core breast biopsies of 180 women were included in this pilot study. Each slide was digitally scanned (iScan Coreo, Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ), and a whole slide image (WSI) was created, allowing the digital virtual slide to be viewed, magnified, and annotated on a computer using a web-based viewer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
