“…Diagnoses from WSI rendered by remote expert consultants were assessed for 42 cases of patients with atypical small acinar proliferations of the prostate in Iran. 119 Despite some loss of information from immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining, ''there was high concordance between the results of IHC and electronic consultation in the group of benign cases.'' Among the seven cases diagnosed as having malignancy by the consultant pathologist, five were classified as malignant, one as benign, and one as inconclusive.…”

The evidence regarding feasibility/acceptance of telepathology and related information technology applications has been well documented for several decades. The majority of evidentiary studies focused on intermediate outcomes, as indicated by comparability between telepathology and conventional light microscopy. A consistent trend of concordance between the two modalities was observed in terms of diagnostic accuracy and reliability. Additional benefits include use of telepathology and whole slide imaging for teaching, research, and outreach to resource-limited countries. Challenges still exist, however, in terms of use of telepathology as an effective diagnostic modality in clinical practice.
