Stud Health Technol Inform. 2012:179:68-71.

Abstract

The use of digital slides for educational purposes (both for medical students and during pathology traineeships) will eventually accelerate the acceptance of digital pathology in general. This chapter describes the advantages of using digital slides especially for education. Also the requirements for using digital slides for this purpose are evaluated, including software requirements, the slide scanner and the IT infrastructure needed to provide a robust infrastructure to end users.
