Pathology residents' use of a Web-based tutorial to improve Gleason grading of prostate carcinoma on needle biopsies

An array microscope for ultrarapid virtual slide processing and telepathology. Design, fabrication, and validation study

“…The instrument may be used for the current applications of telepathology, including routine surgical pathology, second opinions, expert opinions, education and research. [68][69][70][71][72] The high throughput of the processor and the minimization of the need for an operator enables it to be used for additional applications that have the potential to significantly expand the range of pathology activities and create new models of health care delivery. The scanner is designed to handle the daily glass slide output of many pathology departments.…”

Web-based virtual microscopy in teaching and standardizing Gleason grading☆

“…Most of the studies have included no preceding consensus training, and these studies uniformly show that the interobserver variability of Gleason grading is considerable. Prior use of educational tools such as reference images or Web tutorials can clearly improve the grading accuracy and reproducibility [13][14][15][16]. However, current image reference systems and Web tutorials are based on conventional microscopy images limited to only one magnification level and a preselected specimen area.…”

“Score the Core” Web-based pathologist training tool improves the accuracy of breast cancer IHC4 scoring

“…This study offered a novel opportunity to reduce interobserver variability in a measurable and practical manner, building on the excellent examples of Web-based training that exist for Gleason grading of prostatic lesions and cytopathology [27][28][29]. We showed that expert and trainee pathologists were able to improve their accuracy in comparison to a criterion standard and reduce their intragroup variance.…”
