Evaluation of panoramic digital images using Panoptiq for frozen section diagnosis.

Introduction: Whole slide imaging (WSI) permits intraoperative consultations (frozen sections) to be performed remotely. However, WSI files are large and can be problematic if there are tissue artifacts (e.g.

Exploring virtual reality technology and the Oculus Rift for the examination of digital pathology slides.

Background: Digital slides obtained from whole slide imaging (WSI) platforms are typically viewed in two dimensions using desktop personal computer monitors or more recently on mobile devices. To the best of our knowledge, we are not aware of any studies viewing digital pathology slides in a virtual reality (VR) environment. VR technology enables users to be artificially immersed in and interact with a computer-simulated world.

Comparison of the diagnostic utility of digital pathology systems for telemicrobiology.

Introduction: Telemicrobiology is a growing component of clinical microbiology informatics. However, few studies have been performed to assess the diagnostic utility of telemicroscopy systems in evaluating infectious agents.

Objective: Evaluate multiple contemporary digital pathology platforms for use in diagnostic telemicrobiology.
