Utilizing novel telepathology system in preclinical studies and peer review

抄録

The demand for board certified toxicologic pathologists and expansion of IT capabilities has resulted in an increase of “virtual” and “distance” pathology (telepathology), and a need for greater flexibility in real time consultations. Newly developed microscope-integrated telepathology systems enable geographically remote stakeholders to view the live histopathology slide as seen by the microscope user. Simultaneous online viewing, annotation, and dialog between pathologists and study experts facilitates good science and economic benefits by enabling more timely and informed clinical decisions.
