This change carries serious implications for innovation, digital pathology, AI-based diagnostics, and small labs across the U.S.
🎧 What You’ll Hear:
- What LDTs are and why they matter for rare diseases and personalized medicine
- Why the FDA rule sparked backlash from the pathology community
- What the court’s decision means for AI algorithms in digital pathology
- What’s next: Will Congress revive the VALID Act?
- How this affects labs, startups, and the future of diagnostic innovation
This podcast is packed with updates every pathology professional should know. 🔍
