title: Telehematology: a pilot experience of cytological diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia via the Internet. A GOELAMS study.
abstract: Although modern communication technology is well developed, telehematology does not readily lend itself to practical laboratory use. Multicenter therapeutic protocols may offer preferential opportunities. The cytologists of the AML-2001 protocol established an innovative organization to demonstrate the reliability of the diagnostic assessment of acute myeloid leukemia through a rapid and decentralized exchange of information via the internet and to define the conditions optimizing expert diagnosis. Telediagnosis appears to be a powerful tool for cytological review and other issues.
