“…Nevertheless, digital imaging is being recommended by several investigators. [45–48] As WSI would certainly be more cost effective and has improved standardization for proficiency testing, it has been shown that in order for such digital programs to work, prior training of participants on the technology is required. Complaints to date are related mainly to the lengthy time experienced by users to examine digital images.…”

Digitized slides produced by whole slide image scanners can be easily shared over a network or by transferring image files to optical or other data storage devices. Navigation of digitized slides is interactive and intended to simulate viewing glass slides with a microscope (virtual microscopy). Image viewing software permits users to edit, annotate, analyze, and easily share whole slide images (WSI). As a result, WSI have begun to replace the traditional light microscope, offering a myriad of opportunities for education. This article focuses on current applications of WSI in education and proficiency testing. WSI has been successfully explored for graduate education (medical, dental, and veterinary schools), training of pathology residents, as an educational tool in allied pathology schools (e.g., cytotechnology), for virtual tracking and tutoring, tele-education (tele-conferencing), e-learning, virtual workshops, at tumor boards, with interactive publications, and on examinations. WSI supports flexible and cost-effective distant learning and augments problem-oriented teaching, competency evaluation, and proficiency testing. WSI viewed on touchscreen displays and with tablet technology are especially beneficial for education. Further investigation is necessary to develop superior WSI applications that better support education and to design viewing stations with ergonomic tools that improve the WSI-human interface and navigation of virtual slides. Studies to determine the impact of training pathologists without exposure to actual glass slides are also needed.

“…This situation argues strongly for a ‘digital solution.’ Libraries of whole-slide images would be far more easily maintained and would not be subject to loss in transport and the inevitable wear and tear of repeated use. Early studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that either portions of slides or whole-slide images could be used for this task as long as the slides were well validated [58,59]. When whole-slide images were compared to glass slides, there was no statistical difference for the modeled proficiency test pass rate [59].…”

The growth of digital methods in pathology is accelerating. Digital images can be used for a variety of applications in cytology, including rapid interpretations, primary diagnosis and second opinions, continuing education and proficiency testing. All of these functions can be performed using small static digital images, real-time dynamic digital microscopy, or whole-slide images. This review will discuss the general principles of digital pathology, its methods and applications to cytologic specimens. As cytologic specimens have unique features compared to histopathology specimens, the key differences will be discussed. Technical and administrative issues in digital pathology applications and the outlook for the future of the field will be presented.

“…The diversity in telepathology systems reflects growing technological expertise in this area and the increasing importance of telepathology in education, training, quality assurance and teleconsultation [15][16][17] Numerous pathology archives abound on the Internet providing links to both educational and commercial telepathology websites. This offer access to either static or dynamic image delivery systems [18][19][20].…”
