Telepathology, introduced in 1986 by Weinstein, was not adopted in Japan because its image could not be transmitted by the National Television Standard Committee (NTSC) transmission. In 1990 a new system of Hi-Vision (HDTV) with 1125 lines, was implemented in Yamagata University and was highly evaluated. This success was followed by new developments both in NTSC and HDTV telepathology systems. Real-time HDTV images are transmitted via optical fiber cables for in-house hospital operations. Static HDTV and NTSC images are transferred via integrated services digital network (64 Kbit/s and 1.5 Mbit/s). Today telepathology networks are extending all over the country.
远程病理学由温斯坦于1986年提出，但在日本未被采用，因为其图像无法通过国家电视标准委员会（NTSC）传输。1990年，山形大学采用了一种新的具有1125行的高清晰度电视（HDTV）系统，并得到了高度评价。随后，NTSC和HDTV远程病理学系统都有了新的发展。实时HDTV图像通过光纤电缆传输，用于医院内部操作。静态HDTV和NTSC图像通过综合业务数字网（64 Kbit/s和1.5 Mbit/s）传输。如今，远程病理学网络正在全国范围内扩展。
