Abstract:

Background To assess reproducibility and accuracy of overall Nottingham grade and component scores using digital whole slide images WSIs compared to glass slides. Conclusions Pathologists intraobserver agreement reproducibility is similar for Nottingham grade using glass slides or WSI. However, slightly lower agreement between pathologists suggests that verification of grade using digital WSI may be more challenging.
