We kindly invite you to participate in the online lecture "Digital Intelligence in Tissue Pathology Research" by the head of the Department of Pathology, Forensic Medicine and Pharmacology of the Faculty of Medicine, director of the State Pathology Center Prof. Arvydas Laurinavičius. The lecture is being held on the 31 December, 9 a. m. This lecture is part of the Lithuanian-Japanese initiative “From Cell Biology to Surgery and Beyond”.
"The digital intelligence mentioned in the name of the lecture is meant to be an interaction between human and artificial intelligence. We need to develop the ability to understand the possibilities of digital intelligence – to understand how it works and to be able to use it in our activities,” said Prof. A. Laurinavičius. He stated, that the first part of the lecture “Digital Intelligence in Tissue Pathology Research” will be theoretical. First of all, digital health in general and how its data can be used to treat patients will be discussed. Furthermore, examples of how image analysis is applied, as well as how artificial intelligence systems extract information from pathology micropreparations will be reviewed.
“The examples will show how the processing of information digitally and statistically may let us see the things that a human eye cannot and use it to build clinical models. For example, digital parameters can be extracted from a microscopic image that predicts a patient’s probability of death or survival after 10 years,” said the professor. He added that the lecture could be a great opportunity to broaden your horizons and learn how usefully digital data may be used in the field of healthcare. And also the lecture may help to get acquainted with digitization, which will probably be applied in the practice of pathology in a period of 5-10 years.
According Prof. to A. Laurinavičius, “it is very important for physicians to develop digital intelligence so that they could communicate with IT specialists in the future. Working together as a team, they can create scientific innovations. Also, when using the innovations created by others, it lets to understand how do they work, etc. I think that we will not run away from it in the future.”

The fragment of Prof. Arvydas Laurinavičius' lecture presentation
“From Cell Biology to Surgery and Beyond” initiative
Lithuanian-Japanese initiative is the new international academic initiative to help students in comprehensive understanding of a disease mechanism, selection of the appropriate surgical or systemic treatment and providing the opportunity to discuss.
The 4th and 5th year students are invited to take part in the meetings of the project implemented by Prof. Kęstutis Strupas and Dr. Aistė Kielaitė-Gulla with their colleagues surgeons from Kansai Medical University (Japan). On-line (remote) lectures of Japanese and Lithuanian academic surgeons as well as presentation of good clinical and surgical practice will be offered during these meetings.
Lectures on pancreatic, hepatic, colorectal and gastric as well as pediatric surgery have been anticipated. Twice per month held lectures will be illustrated with 3D visual aids and video fragments of the surgeries. Students will have an opportunity to ask questions and to discuss the selected topics during the on-line meetings a well as to integrate the achievements of scientific research.
