Abstract:
Telepathology is based on the sharing of medical images coming from microscope, and comprises different applications: intraoperative telediagnosis, second opinion teleconsultation, reference case archives, remote data and image processing, quality assessment. Being the Internet worldwide available, it can be of interest to define which of these tasks can be performed by means of some telepathology method based on it. This paper focuses particularly on the use of Internet Multimedia Electronic Mail for exchanging multimedia cases. To test the validity of the proposed approach for transmission of multimedia cases, the first step is to evaluate its diagnostic accuracy. Trials involving the transmission of 299 cases have been carried out between two departments of Pathology in Italy (at the University of Udine and at the City Hospital of Trento, respectively) in order to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy as well as the time needed for acquisition and transmission. First results show that a good diagnostic agreement can be reached, while the time needed for transmission, although generally low, is not sufficiently affordable to be adopted in those
