“…The second article describes the laboratory component of an innovative rapid breast care service [47,49]. It includes a subset of QA virtual slide telepathology breast cases described elsewhere in this Telepathology Symposium but included in this article in a different context, namely, the providing of immediate second opinions on surgical pathology specimens from a rapid breast care service [47,49,50].…”

“…It includes a subset of QA virtual slide telepathology breast cases described elsewhere in this Telepathology Symposium but included in this article in a different context, namely, the providing of immediate second opinions on surgical pathology specimens from a rapid breast care service [47,49,50]. This innovative service bundles telemammography, telepathology, and teleoncology into a same-day "virtual" point-of-care service.…”

“…Multiple recent examples have described applications for pathology education and training [1,2], distant consultation services [3][4][5], and general diagnostic use cases [6][7][8][9]. The pathway toward general use in anatomical pathology is expected to follow many of the same steps taken in radiology and implementation of digital radiology imaging.…”

“…The components necessary are ‘off the shelf' and currently available. There is a developed medical literature covering telepathology and the technologic infrastructure in its use, as well as resources and professional societies dedicated to telepathology and pathology informatics [27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47]. …”

Objective: Telepathology in cytopathology is becoming more commonly utilized, and newer technologic infrastructures afford the laboratory a variety of options. The options and design of a telepathology system are driven by the clinical needs. This is primarily focused on providing rapid on-site evaluation service for fine needle aspiration. Study Design: The clinical requirements and needs of a system are described. Available tools to design and implement a telepathology system are covered, including methods of image capture, network connectivity and remote viewing options. Results: The primary telepathology method currently used and described involves the delivery via a network connection of a live video image to a remote site which is passively viewed by an internet web-based browser. By utilizing live video information and a voice connection to the on-site location, the remote viewer can collect clinical information and direct their view of the slides. Conclusions: Telepathology systems for use in cytopathology can be designed and implemented with commercially available infrastructure. It is necessary for the laboratory to validate the designed system and adhere to the required regulatory requirements. Telepathology for cytopathology can be reliably utilized by adapting existing technology, and newer advances hold great promise for further applications in the cytopathology laboratory.
