There's a steadily rising number of articles about digital pathology in the mainstream pathology journals and trade journals. See:
- "A look ahead to AI based assistance in anatomic pathology" - CAP TODAY, February 2022 here.
- "Cytopathology - At the center of AI implementation" - CAP TODAY, August 2021, here.
- CAP has a home page for "AI in Pathology" - here.
- Citing, for example, Haymond, "Rise of the Machines: AI and the Clinical Laboratory" here and Rashidi, "Machine learning in healthcare and laboratory medicine," here.
- See also...a survey, how pathology stakeholders are reacting to digital pathology, Heinz 2022, here. See a review of breast cancer and machine learning, Lee et al, here.
- CAP also has a standing AI committee now, here.
- Fall of 2021 brought the first AI approval in anatomic pathology, for PAIGE and assisted or second-reading use in prostate biopsy pathology -
AMA
On the pure policy side, AMA has a workgroup on digital medicine, its Digital Medicine Payment Advisory Group, DMPAG, here.
CMS
And CMS is now devoting several pages of its annual outpatient rulemaking (Part B rulemaking) to how to dollarize the RVU's and value of artificial intelligence, software, and licensing or per-click fees. (E.g. 86 Fed Reg 65037ff, 65100ff, etc, November 19, 2021). On the Part A side, CMS has granted temporary new technology add on payments (NTAPs) to radiology software that prioritizes a reading cue for the cases with the mostly-likely-dangerous conditions (VizAI here.)
Journal of the American College of Radiology
While important policy or research articles on AI appear now "at regular intervals" in the major pathology journals, I think none of our lab journals approach the density of activity on AI innovation that can be seen in Journal of the American College of Radiology.
I've been following JACR for over a decade (I used to have a lot of projects involving PET scans), and it's a fascinating journal.
While it publishes original clinical research, a large proportion of all articles are devoted to breaking technologies, new policy initiatives, and "technology of change" issues. Such topics certainly do occur in pathology journals, like J Molec Diagnostics, and when they appear, they are likely to be a committee's high quality position paper, but they're much less common on an issue-to-issue basis.
JACR has its main website here. For example, as I'm writing today, one current top title is:
- "Liquid Biopsy, Diagnostic Imaging, and Future Synergies" by Petranovic et al. (19:P336),
- ...which would probably be of a lot of interest to the diagnostics part of the precision oncology community. Mostly Harvard authors.
JACR: Over 100 Recent Titles on Radiology and Artificial Intelligence
Over at PubMed, you can search all articles by "journal name." Instructions here. A pre-made search on the JACR journal title here. For example, a crude search of the journal title JACR and the simple keyword "intelligence" (for artificial intelligence) yielded 195 unselected articles out of 5,568 in JACR as a whole.

To allow the reader to scan the headlines, from present towards the past, I've clipped 111 manually selected titles from JACR on artificial intelligence or machine learning, and pasted them in a separate blog here, as well as below the break in this article. The articles run from current (February 2022) backwards to the end of 2018. I've also put a bibliography export file in citation BIB format in the cloud here.
Separately, I informally classified the 111 articles below, into five general categories -
#22 classified as "business,"
#40 classified as "implementation,"
#14 classified as performance and clinical reports,
#27 classed as "AI and people," (e.g. "How residents view AI"),
#8 classed as directly related to FDA, basic development, or other.
- ORGANIZED BY GROUP: I've taken the 100 recent article titles from JACR and displayed them in the five groups, over here.
- ORGANIZED REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL: Directly below, in this blog, the 100 recent articles on AI from JACR are displayed in backward chronological order.
- See another Radiology-AI article here: "AI attempts to tack radiology provider shortage," MedCity, nere.
- See FDA approval documents for the Radiology-AI system GLEAMER for AI-enabled fracture detection, here.
- See a 2021 JAMA article, on the theme, "AI research in COVID is mismatched to the clinic," for example, 84% of clinical studies used CT but only 39% of AI studies. Here.
Update - See an April 2022 headline, "First autonomous X-ray analyzing AI cleared in the EU," here. VIZ.AI nabs $100M in new funding, April 2022. And AIDOC nabs its 9th FDA approval, here.
