  • Info Sharing: One day, the public health emergency will be declared over. Here is guidance on what happens to devices that fall within pandemic enforcement policies, like WSI scanners: LINK

  • Open-Position: ORISE Fellow

    • Victor Garcia, MD, is transitioning into an FDA/CDRH/DIDSR full-time staff fellow

    • We therefore have an open ORISE Fellow position for the next year (starting 01 October 2022): Statistics and Informatics Support the Assessment of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

    • Actively recruiting now – please distribute! jobDescriptionDigitalPathologyAIML-20220617-2_1.pdf - legacy

  • Needed: We are looking for an FDA-cleared Scanner. We are targeting the the Aperio AT2 DX because it has a format that is open enough to be supported by several software tools and platforms.

    • One batch of pivotal study slides are in our hands!

  • Upcoming Presentations: American Statistical Association’s Joint Statistical Meeting

    • Session: Assessing Agreement and Reader Reliability in Medical Imaging Analysis (organized by Si Wen)

    • August 7th, 2022 in Washington DC Link to Session Info

    • Brandon will present “Exploring Pathologist-Pathologist Agreement as a Baseline for Algorithm-Pathologist Agreement”

    • Si will present “Limits of Agreement for an MRMC Study”

    • We hope to schedule a redux of the session to be hosted by PIcc.
