Michael D. Feldman MD, PhD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

View learning objectives under main course title.

There are several challenges to meaningfully integrating clinical radiologic and pathologic information. These include issues of sampling and geographic registration, and practical matters of developing a shared workflow and integrated information systems as well as a common culture. These challenges invite research opportunities to investigate the most effective ways to extract diagnostic information from both molecular markers and imaging data, and to optimize evidence-based utilization of diagnostic tools for best patient outcomes. If done well, integrated and intelligent radiology/pathology information systems and processes may catalyze the realization of precision medicine.
