# PathML

## Overview

PathML is a comprehensive Python toolkit for computational pathology workflows, designed to facilitate machine learning and image analysis for whole-slide pathology images. The framework provides modular, composable tools for loading diverse slide formats, preprocessing images, constructing spatial graphs, training deep learning models, and analyzing multiparametric imaging data from technologies like CODEX and multiplex immunofluorescence.

## When to Use This Skill
