AI-Powered Pathology Slide Triage & Diagnostic Prioritization Platform

Plavno developed an AI-powered digital pathology platform that helps laboratories triage cases, prioritize suspicious slides, and support faster review workflows for pathologists.

Let’s Build Your Solution

Overview

Key Metrics & Impact

The solution was designed for diagnostic laboratories and pathology teams handling large volumes of digitized tissue slides. It combines whole-slide image processing, suspicious-region detection, triage logic, review support, and workflow integration into one scalable digital pathology platform.

  • Faster prioritization of high-risk pathology cases

  • Reduced time spent on routine negative or low-complexity slide review

  • Better visibility into suspicious tissue regions before full review

  • Improved workload distribution across pathology teams

  • Stronger digital foundation for scalable pathology operations

<span>Key Metrics</span> & Impact
01

Problem

Digital pathology adoption is growing, but many pathology teams still struggle with increasing case volume, limited specialist capacity, and time-consuming manual review of slides.

Common challenges included:


  • Large queues of pathology cases awaiting review

  • Difficulty prioritizing potentially urgent or suspicious slides

  • High manual effort in scanning large tissue areas

  • Uneven workload distribution across pathologists

  • Growing pressure to improve turnaround time without compromising diagnostic quality


The client needed a solution that could help teams review more efficiently while preserving clinical oversight.

Problem
02

Challenge

The platform needed to:


  • Ingest and process high-resolution whole-slide images

  • Detect suspicious tissue regions and case-level risk signals

  • Support case triage and review prioritization

  • Fit naturally into digital pathology workflows

  • Maintain explainability for pathologist review

  • Scale across multiple labs, scanners, and pathology subdomains


There were also key constraints:


  • Pathology images are large and computationally demanding

  • Workflows differ by tissue type and diagnostic context

  • AI outputs had to support review, not replace the pathologist

  • The system needed to remain usable in routine laboratory operations

Challenge

Solution

AI-Powered Pathology Triage and Prioritization Platform

Plavno integrated whole-slide ingestion, tissue region analysis, suspicious-area detection, case prioritization logic, reviewer workspace support, lab workflow integration, and operational dashboards into one digital pathology workflow — helping labs focus attention where it matters most.

Product Highlights

    • Whole-slide image ingestion and processing

    • Suspicious region detection

    • Case triage and prioritization support

    • Review workspace for pathologists

    • Visualization overlays for flagged areas

    • Integration with digital pathology and lab systems

    • Operational dashboards for lab workload management

User Flows

    • Receive Digital Slides: The platform ingests scanned pathology slides and associated case metadata.

    • Analyze Tissue Regions: AI models assess tissue structure, detect suspicious areas, and assign triage signals.

    • Prioritize the Queue: Cases are ranked or flagged based on triage logic and review urgency.

    • Support Pathologist Review: Pathologists open the case with highlighted regions and structured visual support.

Experience & Scalability

    • Supports diagnostic labs and digital pathology teams

    • Suitable for high-volume histopathology environments

    • Helps optimize specialist review time

    • Works across centralized and distributed lab networks

    • Designed as a scalable AI layer for pathology workflow modernization

Architecture Overview

Deep Dive: Project Architecture

  • Slide Ingestion Layer: Whole-slide images and case metadata are imported into the platform.

  • Image Analysis Layer: AI models process tissue images and identify suspicious regions or structural anomalies.

  • Triage Layer: Case-level prioritization logic helps labs sort slides by review urgency.

  • Review Layer: Pathologists see flagged regions, overlays, and case context in a structured review workspace.

  • Integration Layer: The platform can connect with laboratory systems, pathology viewers, and digital case management tools.

  • Deployment Layer: Supports enterprise-grade digital pathology environments with scalable compute infrastructure.
