DESCRIPTION:The Pithia trial (www.pithia.org.uk) is a NIHR-funded ‘stepp
 ed-wedge cluster randomised trial’ that evaluates the impact that introd
 uction of a National Digital Pathology Service has on UK kidney transplant
  numbers and function. All UK transplant centres are participating and dur
 ing the trial\, kidney biopsies will be digitally scanned and images made 
 available to a consortium of specialist histopathologists located througho
 ut the UK.\n\nBiopsies are evaluated and scored according to a ‘Remuzzi
 ’ system that assesses four architectural features of the kidney: the gl
 omerulus\; the tubule\; the artery and the interstitium. We are interested
  in exploring the potential for using a neural learning approach to replic
 ate the scoring system.
