Abstract

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have revolutionized computational pathology (CPath), particularly through deep learning (DL) and neural networks (NNs). In a recent study, Vorontsov et al. introduced Virchow, a new foundation model (FM) for CPath, which has shown promising results in cancer detection and biomarker prediction.
