Published: February 2001

Telepathology uses telecommunication technology to transmit microscopic images for diagnostic or teaching purposes. Basic requirements for a telepathology system are described. Usage scenarios for a telepathology network are presented including applications in intraoperative frozen section diagnosis, scientific collaboration and computer based training. Results of an evaluation of 4 currently available telepathology systems are presented.

Nowadays pathology laboratories are worldwide facing a digital revolution, with an increasing number of institutions adopting digital pathology (DP) and whole slide imaging solutions. Despite indeed providing novel and helpful advantages, embracing a whole DP workflow is still challenging, especially for wide healthcare networks. The Azienda Zero of the Veneto Italian region has begun a process of a fully digital transformation of an integrated network of 12 hospitals producing nearly 3 million slides per year.

Article Synopsis
  • Gastric cancer risk is linked to chronic gastritis, and the OLGIM system can determine GC risk based on the level of intestinal metaplasia (IM), although scoring requires considerable expertise.
  • A deep learning model, ResNet50, was used to analyze 5753 images of gastric biopsy samples, achieving a high sensitivity (97.7%) and specificity (94.6%) in classifying IM.
  • The study indicates that the AI system can improve the accuracy and consistency of GC risk evaluation, potentially standardizing pathology assessments globally.
