A Review on the Evolution of Comprehensive Information for Digital Sliding of Pathology and Medical Image Segmentation
Published in K.C. Santosh, Sameer Antani, D.S. Guru, Nilanjan Dey, Medical Imaging, 2019
Telepathology is the utilization of advanced pathology pictures to perform analysis without glass slides and a magnifying lens, and the coming of WSI innovation has caused a sharp increment in the reception of telepathology for clinical care. The first articles to utilize the term telepathology were published in 1986, before the discovery of WSI [2,28]. The utilization of WSI frameworks for telepathology has brought about various investigations depicting its adequacy for care [34,35], and a white paper on telepathology approval is normal in the last 50% of 2012 Digital Pathology Working Group. Norway is one of the countries where frozen and remote telepathology has been progressing effectively [23–27]. An expansion in informatics preparing in pathology residency projects will probably prompt further increments in the use of this innovation [36–38], since pathologists can contribute to enhancement of the information base by uploading clinical information, and it was anticipated that this would be at some point in 2013 [39,40] (Table 9.1).
Ip Video Transport Applications

Telemedicine uses networks to enable a physician in one location to practice medicine in another location. There has been a lot of hype surrounding the idea of using remote-control robots to do surgery over the Internet, but there are many examples of using current technology for telemedicine that are benefiting patients today. Here are a few examples:Teleradiology, where images from X-rays, CAT scans, MRI scans, etc., are sent to a radiologist at a distant location for interpretation. While radiologists primarily use still images, motion (video) images are becoming more common.Telepathology, where a pathologist is able to take control of tissue sample imaging tools (such as a microscope) to make a diagnosis. Round-trip delay needs to be kept very short, to make it possible for the pathologist to operate the controls of the imaging device correctly.Telepsychology, where video-, audio-, and/or text-based interaction is used to provide mental health treatment for patient screening, case management, therapy, and crisis intervention. Telepsychology can be particularly helpful for patients who are geographically isolated or physically disabled.

telemedicine: a term used to describe a variety of services provided remotely through the sharing of images. Unlike “telehealth,” which refers to telecommunication with patients, telemedicine refers mostly to the specialized services provided between providers. Teleradiology (remote interpretation of images) and telepathology (remote review of pathology specimens) are just two examples that describe how specialists remote from the site of care can review and interpret medical tests.

Telepathology is the use of telecommunications technology to send pathology images (e.g. gross specimens, microscopy) to be remotely interpreted on a computer screen rather than direct viewing through a microscope [6]. Geographic limitations and time restraints on pathologists, accompanied by advances in telecommunications and glass slide imaging technology have fueled an emergence of telepathology applications and techniques. The major advantages of telepathology are increased productivity of pathologists and surgeons due to decreased travel times between medical facilities, and access to subspecialty pathologists which can increase diagnostic accuracy [7].
