Complete digital pathology transition: A large multi-center experience
2024, Pathology Research and PracticeOverview of Telepathology
2016, Clinics in Laboratory MedicineCitation Excerpt :This risk is virtually eliminated with telepathology, and is particularly helpful when making recut sections is unfeasible or when there are only limited slides available for review. Telepathology and teleconferencing are ideal for educational purposes.63 In addition to portability and the ease of sharing cases with multiple users, telepathology ensures consistency and longevity of imaged materials for educational purposes, and offers a mechanism to standardize teaching.64

Whole slide imaging in cytopathology education
2012, Diagnostic HistopathologyCitation Excerpt :Textbooks, glass slides and light microscopy, and didactic lectures have been traditionally used in cytology education and training. However, over the last two decades two additional tools have emerged: a web-based cytopathology educational resource and a whole slide imaging (WSI), also known as virtual slide (VS) digital slide technology.1–4 The web-based educational resources in cytology have helped to centralize the cytopathology resources enabling simultaneous delivery of cytopathology education to a wide range of learners nationally and around the globe.
Virtual microscopy-The future of teaching histology in the medical curriculum?
2010, Annals of AnatomyCitation Excerpt :Using the menu commands, it is possible to click on a list of relevant supplementary information (e.g. related specimens which could facilitate understanding, clinically associated illustrative materials, additional antibody markings, electron microscopic pictures, etc.). The vanguard role in the use of this “new” technology has been taken by the pathologists, who have already gathered a great deal of experience using it (Steinberg and Syed, 2001; Dee et al., 2003, 2007; Grant, 2003; Romer, 2003; Gagnon et al., 2004; Kumar et al., 2004, 2006; Lundin et al., 2004; Helina et al., 2005; Lee, 2005; Dee, 2006, 2009; Glatz-Krieger et al., 2006; Marchevsky et al., 2006; Ward, 2006; Glatz et al., 2007; Dee and Meyerholz, 2007; Simms et al., 2007; Kalinski et al., 2008; Kim et al., 2008; Sinn et al., 2008; Stewart et al., 2008, Taylor et al., 2008; López et al., 2009). In the present issue, Merk et al. (2010) present a report on experiences in a histopathology course at the RWTH Aachen using a didactic concept based on Web-based virtual microscopy as well as an analysis of its acceptance by students.
