Summary
Pathological diagnosis, in which cell sections are stained and microscopic observation is used to determine whether they are benign or malignant, is indispensable for definitive diagnosis. In hospitals without a pathologist, it can take more than two weeks to make a definitive diagnosis, making speeding up the process from specimen collection to definitive diagnosis a major challenge. In this study, we aim to develop a method to digitally stain pathology specimens using spectral and polarization information obtained from single-camera, single-exposure imaging of unstained pathology specimens, thereby realizing a support system for rapid telepathology diagnosis that does not require specimen transport and staining processes.

Message

I hope that the results of the research projects supported by this grant will help shorten the time required to a definitive diagnosis, and in the future, I hope to realize a world in which same-day diagnosis is the norm.
