Radiology and pathology are unique among other clinical specialties that incorporate telemedicine technologies into clinical practice, as, for the most part in traditional practice, there are few or no direct patient encounters. The majority of teleradiology and telepathology involves viewing images, which is exactly what occurs without the "tele" component. The images used are generally quite ...

AIMS To undertake a large scale survey of histopathologists in the UK to determine the current infrastructure, training, and attitudes to digital pathology. METHODS A postal questionnaire was sent to 500 consultant histopathologists randomly selected from the membership of the Royal College of Pathologists in the UK. RESULTS There was a response rate of 47%. Sixty four per cent of responden...

BACKGROUND The practice of pathology in the developing world presents challenges in terms of limited resources, shortages of trained personnel, and lack of continuing education programs. Telepathology holds promise as a means of diagnostic and educational support. METHODS We donated multiheaded teaching microscopes equipped with digital cameras to four hospitals in Eastern Africa and trained ...

Any books that you read, no matter how you got the sentences that have been read from the books, surely they will give you goodness. But, we will show you one of recommendation of the book that you need to read. This practical applications of telepathology using morphology based anatomic pathology report is what we surely mean. We will show you the reasonable reasons why you need to read this b...

Advances in optical designs are enabling the development of miniature microscopes that can examine tissue in situ for early anatomic and molecular indicators of disease, in real time, and at cellular resolution. These new devices will lead to major changes in how diseases are detected and managed, driving a shift from today's diagnostic paradigm of biopsy followed by histopathology and recommen...

AIMS To analyse the present status and future development of computerized diagnostic pathology in terms of work-flow integrative telepathology and virtual laboratory. PRESENT STATUS Telepathology has left its childhood. The technical development of telepathology is mature, in contrast to that of virtual pathology. Two kinds of virtual pathology laboratories are emerging: a) those with distrib...

Telemedicine can be viewed as the telematic support for collaboration among distant medical professionals, which cooperate on shared resources of various kind. In light of this, attention to telematics and informatics concepts particularly oriented towards collaboration should be paid: in particular, the recently appeared agent paradigm seems suitable for the analysis, design and development of...
