This week, I ran across two authors on Linked In who have each written a book that introduces the world of digital pathology.
The first author is Dr. Aleks Zuraw. Her book is a take-home associated with a webinar she is giving this week. "Digital Pathology 101, 2nd Edition." Find registration here:

The second author is Dr. Luis Cano. His book is a highlighted link on his Linked In homepage find it here:

I recently discovered two authors on LinkedIn whose introductory books offer complementary perspectives on digital pathology: Luis Cano’s Getting Started with Digital Pathology and Aleksandra Zuraw’s Digital Pathology 101, now in its second edition. Both help readers understand how scanned tissue images can support diagnosis, research, and computational analysis, but their emphasis differs substantially.
Cano’s concise guide is particularly effective at introducing quantitative tissue analysis, including cell counting, biomarker scoring, segmentation, and spatial relationships within tumors. His practical advice encourages newcomers to begin with accessible software, public datasets, and manageable projects.
Zuraw provides a broader introduction to the infrastructure and organizational work required for implementation. Her strongest sections address validation, workflow integration, ongoing performance monitoring, and the distance between developing an algorithm and deploying it reliably. Her veterinary and pharmaceutical background also supports distinctive coverage of toxicologic pathology and regulated drug development.
Neither book provides a complete treatment of clinical utility, reimbursement, procurement, or investment analysis. Nevertheless, both are valuable starting points.
Pathologists, translational researchers, and industry professionals who must connect scientific possibilities with practical adoption should consider reading both: Cano for an accessible entry into image analysis, followed by Zuraw for a deeper understanding of implementation and operational responsibilities.
