Title: Establishing an Interoperable Digital Pathology Architecture
Abstract: Establishing an interoperable digital pathology architecture requires integrating imaging, informatics, and workflow systems into a cohesive framework that supports both clinical and research applications. This talk will describe Stanford’s implementation of a DICOM-based standard for whole slide imaging and the development of a vendor-agnostic data architecture centered on a vendor neutral archive (VNA). Emphasis will be placed on the design principles that enable cross-platform interoperability, data governance, and scalability across multiple vendor ecosystems. In addition, strategies for supporting task-specific scanners and AI-enabled workflows will be discussed, highlighting how these elements together form the foundation for a sustainable, standards-driven digital pathology ecosystem.
Dr. Rebecca Rojansky is Co-Director for Clinical Pathology Informatics at Stanford, where she leads digital and computational pathology initiatives advancing AI-enabled diagnostics and precision healthcare. Her work integrates data architecture, workflow innovation, and cross-institutional collaboration. She completed MDPhD training at UCLA-Caltech, and anatomic and clinical pathology residency, hematopathology fellowship, and molecular genetic pathology fellowship at Stanford.
