Concept of telepathology in Croatia.
The authors proposed a hierarchically organized telepathology system in Croatia connecting smaller hospitals with a single pathologist to three regional centers and connecting these regional centers to the National center in Zagreb. The national center in Zagreb should later be connected further with all highly specialised pathological units in Zagreb and with international centers. This will offer broad possibilities of pathological consultations which is the primary aim of this system. Further, clave cooperation with other participants in telemedicine should be developed, as well as investigation on image analysing of transmitted pictures.
