PathAI is an innovative software system developed by ITAS in cooperation with the Clinical Center of Montenegro, with support from the Innovation Fund of Montenegro. The platform uses advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to analyze histopathology images, identify tumor tissue and recognize key pathological structures, helping pathologists perform faster and more reliable analyses.
How does PathAI work?
The technological approach behind PathAI is based on a two-stage AI architecture that combines rapid tissue detection with highly detailed image analysis.
The system operates in two key stages:
- Tumor Detection – A coarse AI model distinguishes between tumor and non-tumor tissue, accurately identifying regions of interest.
- Multi-Class Tissue Segmentation – A more advanced model performs detailed segmentation of tissue structures, including glands and stroma, while continuously improving annotation quality and model validation.
This layered approach enables both efficient processing and highly accurate pathological analysis.
What makes PathAI different?
A key strength of PathAI is that its development goes beyond automated image processing by combining artificial intelligence with the expertise of experienced pathologists. Model predictions are continuously reviewed, allowing errors, missing annotations and inconsistencies to be identified and corrected throughout the development process.
This collaborative and iterative workflow ensures that the system evolves alongside real clinical practice, resulting in a solution that is both technically advanced and clinically relevant.
What is the goal of PathAI?
PathAI is designed to support pathologists in their daily work by reducing the complexity of histopathology analysis and improving diagnostic efficiency.
The long-term vision focuses on:
- Supporting faster diagnosis through AI-assisted image analysis.
- Improving diagnostic accuracy with advanced tissue segmentation.
- Reducing the workload associated with complex pathological assessments.
- Providing consistent results across different clinical cases.
- Building a scalable AI platform for the future of digital pathology and modern medical diagnostics.
By combining artificial intelligence with medical expertise, PathAI lays the foundation for the next generation of intelligent diagnostic solutions.
