Abstract: In current’s day technological development of telepathology has performed important progress, assuming a diagnostic relief role inside of the processes, telepathology is placed among those of greater interest. Up to some years ago, telepathology allowed us to observe at a distance and in real-time, histological or cytological slides through the Internet, using a motorized microscope (dynamic telepathology). Currently, telepathology has completed an important step in ahead being possible to digitize completely a slide and to store it. An essential prerequisite in order to arrange an efficient telepathology system turns out to be one structured data transmission network, equipped with elevated guaranteed bandwidth, and one consolidated experience in the registration and management of digital images. This thesis describes an implementation of a telepathology system developed for a small and medium scale servicing units. This implementation is expected to serve well the system that comprise either one of or both fixed scanned slide and whole scanned slide. There are 4 main components; namely Image provider (server), Network (internet), Database, and client unit. A pathologist works on the client unit while the lab staffs work on slide preparation and registration site. Database preparation and software user interface are more focused in this report. The full system is expected to be helpful for the community with a shortage of pathologists. The operations include regular remote case reporting by a few hospital pathologists, as well as around 20,000 - 40,000 cases per year where primary review is outsourced to a private clinic. To investigate the pathologists’ preference of the designed system, a web-based questionnaire was designed and sent out to the pathologists. The responses showed that almost all pathologists think that ergonomics have been improved and that image quality was sufficient for most pathological diagnostic work. The fully dynamic system has shown some delays in image retrieval according to the image management system and current data of the internet. In summary, telepathology may be an effective way to provide on-line consultations in difficult cases and to provide hospitals in remote areas with immediate access to anatomic pathology services.
