Real-time telepathology for use in investigative and regulated preclinical toxicology studies is now feasible. Newly developed microscope-integrated telepathology systems enable geographically remote stakeholders to view the live histopathology slide as seen by the study pathologist within the microscope. Simultaneous online viewing and dialog between study pathologist and remote colleagues is an efficient and cost-effective means for consultation, pathology working groups, and peer review, facilitating good science and economic benefits by enabling more timely and informed clinical decisions.
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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
