چکیده

Background and Aim: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in pathology has revolutionized diagnostic precision, prognostication, and treatment strategies. Innovations such as machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) have enabled automated analysis of histological data, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of pathology workflows. This article explores the historical milestones, applications, and transformative impact of AI on clinical pathology practices. The aim of this study as to assess the contributions of AI-driven tools in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, workflow efficiency, and prognostic reliability in pathology, with a focus on significant developments, methodologies, and real-world clinical applications.Method: A comprehensive review of advancements in computational pathology was conducted, analyzing studies and trials involving AI technologies. This included ML and DL applications in diagnostic workflows, predictive and prognostic tools, and digital image analysis methods. Case studies and key AI-driven developments, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), were also reviewed.Results: AI technologies, such as CNNs, have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in identifying histological patterns, predicting treatment responses, and assessing tumor morphology. Tools like whole-slide image analysis and content-based image retrieval (CBIR) have standardized scoring systems and facilitated rare case diagnoses. Diagnostic accuracy and efficiency improved significantly, with AI complementing human expertise. AI's prognostic models effectively correlated histological features with clinical outcomes, showing potential for wider application.Conclusion: AI has become an indispensable tool in pathology, enhancing diagnostic workflows, improving prognostic accuracy, and standardizing evaluations. While challenges remain, such as validation and diverse demographic applications, the integration of AI tools promises a future of precision and efficiency in pathology. Continued collaboration between pathologists and AI developers is crucial to realize its full potential.
