Telepathology, which includes the use of telecommunication links, helps enable transmission of digital pathology images for primary diagnosis, quality assurance, education, research, or second opinion diagnoses.
This review covers all aspects of telepathology implementation, including the selection of platforms, budgets and regulations, validation, implementation, education, quality monitoring, and the potential to improve practice. Considering the long-term trends, the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the potential for future pandemics or other disasters, the validation and implementation of telepathology remains a reasonable choice for laboratories looking to improve their practice.
Though barriers to implementation exist, there are potential benefits, such as the wide spectrum of uses like frozen section, telecytology, primary diagnosis, and second opinions. Telepathology represents an innovation that may transform the future of pathology practice.
远程病理学包括使用电信链路，有助于实现数字病理图像的传输，用于初步诊断、质量保证、教育、研究或二次诊断意见。
本综述涵盖远程病理学实施的各个方面，包括平台选择、预算和法规、验证、实施、教育、质量监测以及改善实践的潜力。考虑到长期趋势、新冠疫情的经验教训以及未来可能发生的疫情或其他灾难，远程病理学的验证和实施对于希望改善实践的实验室来说仍然是一个合理的选择。
尽管实施存在障碍，但仍有潜在益处，例如广泛的用途，如冰冻切片、远程细胞学、初步诊断和二次诊断意见。远程病理学是一项可能改变病理学实践未来的创新。
