title: Field test to evaluate telepathology in telemedicine.
abstract: Telepathology is currently performed only on prototype systems. The application of telepathology consultations differs from the conventional procedure because of the technical and cost restrictions. This paper outlines technical concepts and the principal hardware and software modules necessary for telemicroscopy equipment. A field test to gather information concerning the user needs and to evaluate parameters of telepathology consultation sessions is reported.
