Revolutionizing Traditional Pathology Practice in Today’s Computer Age
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Technology for acquisition of virtual slides was developed in 1985; however, it was not until the late 1990s that desktop computers had enough processing speed to commercialize virtual microscopy and apply the technology to education. By 2000, the progressive decrease in use of traditional microscopy in medical student education had set the stage for the entry of virtual microscopy into medical schools. Since that time, it has been successfully implemented into many pathology courses in the United States and around the world. In addition to education virtual microscope plays important role in getting second opinion on difficult cases and in research.
