[Abstract] Early detection and accurate diagnosis of tumors are crucial to the choice of treatment and the improvement of survival rate. As the gold standard of early diagnosis of tumor, pathology is a highly subjective, tedious, and non-repeatable process that histopathologists make a diagnosis by visually analyzing the tissue structure and cytopathic characteristics of the sample. With the development of artificial intelligence technology in recent years, especially radiomics can extract quantitative features from MRI images with high throughput, and convert images into high-dimensional and extractable data which show great advantages in tumor diagnosis, classification, prognosis. Quantitative analysis of pathological images based on artificial intelligence also has unique value in tumor diagnosis and treatment. It not only improves the accuracy and objectivity of tumor diagnosis, but also reduces the work of pathologists. Under certain circumstances, the ability to recognize slides exceeds that of professional pathologists. The combination of radiomics and pathological data is a new research trend. This paper reviews the application of artificial intelligence-based pathology in tumors, the role of pathology information in MRI and future prospects.
