About
Andreana L. Rivera is a neuropathologist whose work bridges the gap between cutting-edge digital technology and clinical diagnostics. Her research centers on telepathology and intraoperative neuropathology, with a particular focus on validating novel platforms to improve surgical decision-making. Rivera’s most cited work, “Validation of a novel robotic telepathology platform for neuropathology intraoperative touch preparations” (2014, 16 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the field. In this study, she provided the first report validating robotic telepathology using the iScan Coreo Au whole slide imaging scanner for remote interpretation of intraoperative touch preparations. This achievement demonstrated that pathologists could reliably diagnose brain tumor margins from a distance, directly impacting patient care by enabling real-time expert consultation in underserved or remote surgical settings. Rivera’s work has been instrumental in establishing the reliability and clinical utility of digital pathology platforms, paving the way for broader adoption of telepathology in neuro-oncology. Her contributions continue to influence how neuropathologists integrate digital tools into their practice, ensuring that patients receive timely, accurate diagnoses regardless of geographic barriers.
