Abstract

Objective: A telepathology connection between Richmond VAMC and Beckley VAMC using dynamic robotic telepathology to provide pathology services remotely was established.

Materials and methods: This study reports a 14-month experience using telepathology to diagnose surgical specimens obtained from patients at the Beckley VA Medical Center and viewed in Richmond 250 miles away. Over 14 months, 2325 slides representing 1000 cases were viewed.

Results: Discrepancies were observed in 20 of 2325 slides, or 0.86% of the total. None of the patients, where a discrepancy was found, were adversely affected by the preliminary report given.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates that telepathology is a reliable and cost-effective alternative to on-site pathology services and reviews advantages and disadvantages of the system.

里士满和贝克利退伍军人医院之间的心灵病理学:前1000例报告。

目的:建立Richmond VAMC与Beckley VAMC之间的远程病理学联系，利用动态机器人远程病理学提供病理服务。材料和方法:本研究报告了一项为期14个月的经验，使用心灵病理学诊断手术标本，这些标本来自贝克利VA医疗中心的患者，并在250英里外的里士满观看。在14个月的时间里，共浏览了2325张幻灯片，代表1000个病例。结果:2325张玻片中有20张存在差异，占0.86%。在发现差异的病人中，没有一个受到初步报告的不利影响。结论:本研究表明，心灵病理学是一种可靠且经济的替代现场病理服务的方法，并回顾了该系统的优点和缺点。
