telepathology at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital

  • il y a 11 ans
Anatomical cytopathology is a medical specialism that studies damage to cells, tissues or organs taken from the patient, using photonic microscopes. The development of digital technologies in this field is making it possible to obtain virtual slides and share them among specialists.

In certain cases, such as a suspected rare form of cancer, speed of analysis and comparison of viewpoints among specialists make it possible to establish a diagnosis more effectively and to initiate the most appropriate treatment more quickly. In many laboratories, these comparisons are done using a multihead microscope or through sending boxes of slides by mail, which takes time.

In the Department of Anatomy and Cytopathology of the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, the choice of digital tools is meeting very specific objectives: enabling pathologists to work together, safely and securely, in separate locations, and thus strengthening the level of expertise and the quality of diagnosis.
