      At the heart of any digital imaging system is some type of device that initially converts the analog images of everyday life to a realm of the numbers 0 and 1, the binary digital realm. With the advent of this deceptively simple conversion, perhaps seen by some as bordering on the mystical, a new world of possibilities in imaging is within reach. As the technologies that make digital imaging possible become economically approachable, it is important and timely to revisit their application to the broad fields of pathology.
