TL;DR: The field of telepathology has now reached a tipping point at which major corporations now investing in the technology will insist that standards be created for pathology digital imaging as a value added business proposition.
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of and apparatus for viewing microscopic images include transmitting tiled microscopic images from a server to a client, who assembles the tiled images into a seamless virtual slide or specimen image and provides tools for manipulating image magnification and viewpoint.
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for viewing microscopic images include transmitting tiled microscopic images from a server to a client. The client assembles the tiled images into a seamless virtual slide or specimen image and provides tools for manipulating image magnification and viewpoint. The method and apparatus also provides a virtual multi-headed microscope function which allows scattered viewers to simultaneously view and interact with a coherent magnified microscopic image.
TL;DR: Assessment of eye movements of medical students, pathology residents, and practicing pathologists examining virtual slides on a digital display monitor found that eye movement studies of scanning pathways (scan paths) may be useful for developing eye movement profiles for individuals and for understanding the difference in performances between novices and experts.
TL;DR: Three telepathology practice models are discussed: the subspecialty practice (SSP), the case triage practice (CTP) model; and the virtual group practice (VGP), which appears to be following an S-curve for a technical innovation.
TL;DR: The DMetrix virtual slide processor has been found to reduce the virtual slide processing cycle more than 10 fold, as compared with other virtual slide systems reported to date.
