Core Tip
Core tip: Histology in celiac disease (CD) diagnosis is hampered by several pitfalls, from low adherence to biopsy sampling recommendations and reporting of results to significant inter-observer variability. A quantitative, computer-assisted histological assessment of mucosal biopsies could overcome many of the current limitations of conventional histology. We herein discuss the current evidence on artificial intelligence-based histology in CD diagnosis and its role in improving histological measurements in CD.
