Virtual microscopy:applications to hematology.

摘要: Virtual microscopy is the simulation of over a computer network. A virtual slide giant digital image file glass that can be displayed, panned, zoomed, and focused in viewer on screen. slides represent revolutionary advance slides. They are easy to file, store, retrieve, annotate, mark preserved indefinitely. Furthermore, they duplicate distribute integrated into electronic patient records. Large readily transmitted users standard broadband connection. With recent introduction viewers focus slides, simulate all functions real microscopy. has significant advantages education proficiency testing. In education, enables "anytime, anywhere" learning been favorably received by students teachers. surveys, view same image, distribute, do not deteriorate. Potential applications for hematology surveys include blood bone marrow morphology, differential cell counts, cytochemistry immunocytochemistry, detection malarial parasites, other tests. critical clinical parameters, such as blast count, implementation "locate identify" exercises. It conceivable with next generation technological developments, extended diagnostic applications. Important goals minimize size without loss relevant detail, establish equivalence, automate capture high throughput integration laboratory information systems. Key factors will drive user-friendliness, cost, data storage requirements, speed. Implementation may have constructive effects teaching learning, peer-to-peer consultative process, accuracy performance.
