Comparison of the efficiency of digital pathology with the conventional methodology for the diagnosis of biopsies in an anatomical pathology laboratory in Spain

Our study is the first in Spain to compare the efficiency and costs of DP and CM. DP demonstrated significant efficiency improvements over CM, reducing TaT and pathologist workload. Despite higher initial costs, DP's operational benefits indicate its potential as a transformative diagnostic tool. Further studies are needed to evaluate its long-term cost-effectiveness.
