Telepathology in Hematopathology Diagnostics: A Collaboration Between the Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital and the University of Texas Health-McGovern Medical School
Digital pathology in the form of whole-slide imaging has been used to support diagnostic consultation through telepathology. Previous studies have mostly addressed the technical aspects of telepathology and general pathology consultation. In this study, we focus on our experience at the University of Texas Health-McGovern Medical School in Houston, Texas, in providing hematopathology consultation to the Pathology Department at the Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital in Vietnam. Over a 32-month period, 71 hematopathology cases were submitted for telepathology. Consensus was reached for a definitive diagnosis in 97% of all cases. Diagnostic efficiency significantly improved with average turnaround times reduced by 30% compared with traditional on-site consultations with local pathologists using glass slides. A significant educational metric was recorded for the improved diagnostic skills by the Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital pathologists in the course of this teleconference series. A website has been established in this telepathology project to retain information of the most recently discussed cases for further review after the teleconference. Telepathology provides an effective platform for real-time consultations, allowing remote subspecialty experts to interact with local pathologists for comprehensive case reviews. This process also fosters ongoing education, facilitating knowledge transfer in regions where specialized hematopathology expertise is limited.
期刊介绍:
Modern Pathology, an international journal under the ownership of The United States & Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP), serves as an authoritative platform for publishing top-tier clinical and translational research studies in pathology.
Original manuscripts are the primary focus of Modern Pathology, complemented by impactful editorials, reviews, and practice guidelines covering all facets of precision diagnostics in human pathology. The journal's scope includes advancements in molecular diagnostics and genomic classifications of diseases, breakthroughs in immune-oncology, computational science, applied bioinformatics, and digital pathology.
