Pathology News Roundup: June 2025

CAP Announces Immersive AI Platform. A new virtual artificial intelligence (AI) platform for pathologists will debut at CAP25, September 13-16 in Orlando, to give pathologists experience with the technology.

The College of American Pathologists’ (CAP) platform, powered by PathPresenter, will provide CAP members a safe, simulated space to explore cutting-edge AI tools used in pathology. From image analysis to diagnostic support, pathologists can interact with models in realistic patient scenarios without impacting care.  

“It’s no risk, no pressure. Just discovery,” said CAP President Donald Karcher, MD, FCAP. “This initiative is about giving pathologists a trusted environment to evaluate new tools and stay in control of how technology fits into pathology practice.” 

Designed as both an educational tool and a discovery hub, the platform is set to become a go-to destination for pathologists exploring AI in real-world contexts when launched at CAP25. 

“We wanted to give pathologists a space to explore how AI models can be used in real-world practice,” said M. E. (Doc) de Baca, MD, FCAP, CAP Council on Informatics and Pathology Innovation Chair. “This platform highlights the AI tools currently available and also offers a glimpse of what’s possible as we continue to investigate how AI can support and enhance the practice of pathology.” 

The platform will feature a slate of AI tools for the pathology community to test drive, with participation from vendors across the industry. Pathologists will be able to engage with real models, not just screenshots or quick demos. It’s designed to meet the growing demand for meaningful, hands-on exploration of AI tools in a setting that supports learning and confidence. 

European Congress on Digital Pathology. The digital pathology community converges in Barcelona, Spain from June 25 to 28, for the European Congress on Digital Pathology (ECDP2025). Pathologists, image analysis engineers, quality control specialists, researchers, and industry leaders will explore novel approaches, challenges, and breakthroughs in digital pathology.

The outcomes of the 2025 WG-26 DICOM Digital Pathology Connectathon will also be showcased at ECDP2025. The Connectathon seeks to engage all primary actors in digital pathology interoperability, and the outcomes presented at ECDP2025 will provide transparency into vendor interoperability and conformance results. 

Voicebrook previously announced its participation in the 2025 WG-26 DICOM Digital Pathology Connectathon, contributing in the displayer capacity, validating its ability to access and utilize DICOM annotations in support of diagnostic reporting. This access is essential to Voicebrook’s mission of streamlining reporting workflows by integrating diagnostic context, including region of interest markers, measurement data, and algorithmic findings, directly into the pathology reporting process.

Meet With Voicebrook at ECDP2025. Voicebrook will be at the European Congress on Digital Pathology (ECDP2025) and we'd love to connect with you! Our Director of Business Development, David Colangelo, will be in attendance and is available on Thursday, June 26 and Friday, June 27 for personal appointments.
