Advantages of combined touch screen technology and text hyperlink for the pathology grossing manual: a simple approach to access instructive information in biohazardous environments

Welcome to Basic and Applied Pathology (BAAP)!

“…Modern technology enables pathologists to do more creative and efficient work. If the advance in the molecular biologic technologies are examples for wet laboratory innovation, dry part of pathology laboratory innovation would be information technology such as telepathology, 15, 16 pathology shared across multiple institutions 17 and intelligent reporting system 18–20 . Moreover pathology informatics became a quantifiable tool for biologic signal 21 and plays a critical part of translational research 22 …”

Model for an Online, Virtual Medical Textbook Generated from HTML-Coded Links to Virtual Microscopic Slides

“…[1][2][3][4] We describe a simple method for creation of an online, medical-pathology textbook using virtual pathology slides with deep hyperlinking of images from HTML-coded Web pages to specific areas of scanned slides using the Aperio virtual slide-server system (www.aperio.com; accessed April 16, 2012; Aperio, Vista, California); the virtual slides are hosted on a remote server (www.virtualpathology.leeds. ac.uk; accessed April 16, 2012).…”
