چکیده

We present here a system (hardware+software) for telemicroscopy and telecolposcopy, which can be extended for other pathological studies. Their application is intended for the support of the diagnostics and treatment of patients in remote zones within Mexico, without having to spend the resources associated with transporting them to the cities or towns where this instruments and techniques are available. This equipment will allow performing an accurate diagnostic that will help in the prevention of cancer. The novelty of this system, is that it is implemented over an already developed platform of a LIMS [10], which allows a complete integration with the clinical laboratory. Key-Words: Telepathology, telemicroscopy, telecolposcopy, automatic control, telemedicine, telediagnostics.

The Telepathology and Teleradiology Network in Croatia

Telepathology as a demanding branch of telemedicine poses a real challenge to experts. The introduction of telepathology in underprivileged countries with poor infrastructure and low health-care budget is a difficult task. On the other hand these countries would mostly benefit by introducing telemedicine/telepathology. In our experience it is possible to build an efficient telepathology/telerad...
