Pathologists have been using their tool of trade, "the microscope," since the early 17 century, but now diagnostic pathology or tissue-based diagnosis is characterized by its high specificity and sensitivity. Technological telecommunication advances have revolutionized the face of medicine, and in pursuit of better health-care delivery, telepathology has emerged. Telepathology is the practice of diagnostic pathology performed at a distance, with images viewed on a video monitor rather than directly through the (light) microscope. This article aims to provide an overview of the field, including specific applications, practice, benefits, limitations, regulatory issues, latest advances, and a perspective on the current status of telepathology in Indian scenario based on literature review.
自17世纪初以来，病理学家就一直在使用他们的行业工具——“显微镜”，但如今诊断病理学或基于组织的诊断具有高特异性和高敏感性的特点。电信技术的进步彻底改变了医学面貌，为了追求更好的医疗服务，远程病理学应运而生。远程病理学是指在远距离进行诊断病理学实践，通过视频监视器而非直接通过（光学）显微镜查看图像。本文旨在对该领域进行概述，包括具体应用、实践、益处、局限性、监管问题、最新进展，以及基于文献综述对印度远程病理学现状的展望。
