Abstract

Despite the diverse appearances and usage scenarios, digital pathology applications can nevertheless be categorized into a number of distinct topics and fields. In this chapter, we start with the most obvious of these applications and move toward the least obvious. We limit ourselves to explaining the field of applications here. In practice, applied digital pathology most likely involves a combination of applications, as can be seen in Chap. 5, where we highlight certain specific use cases.
