Telepathology is to transform microscopic and gross images of pathological specimen into digital forms and transmit them electronically to remote sites for consultation and collaboration. Many benefits can be derived from telepathology. Although still at its initial developing stage, this technology is beginning to change the way pathological practice is conducted. With the rapid advancement of computer and telecommunication sciences, telepathology is increasingly becoming more feasible and practical for pathologists. This review gives a comprehensive account of the recent development in telepathology, discusses its functionality, applications, limitations and potential, and serves as an introduction to this rapidly evolving field.
远程病理学是将病理标本的微观和大体图像转化为数字形式，并通过电子方式传输到远程站点进行会诊和协作。远程病理学有许多益处。尽管仍处于初始发展阶段，但这项技术正开始改变病理实践的开展方式。随着计算机和通信科学的迅速发展，远程病理学对病理学家来说越来越可行和实用。这篇综述全面介绍了远程病理学的最新进展，讨论了其功能、应用、局限性和潜力，并作为对这个快速发展领域的一个介绍。
