Der Onkologe Aims and scope

Zusammenfassung

Ähnlich wie die digitalen Verfahren die radiologische Bildgebung revolutioniert haben, wird die virtuelle Mikroskopie die Pathologie verändern. Dies gilt im besonderen Maße auch für die onkologische Diagnostik. Die Digitalisierung wird nicht nur die arbeitsteilige Kooperation der Pathologen vereinfachen und beschleunigen, sondern auch durch die verstärkte Nutzung quantitativer Methoden bei der Einschätzung morphologischer Veränderungen zu geringerer Variabilität und größerer Reproduzierbarkeit verhelfen. Die virtuelle Mikroskopie ermöglicht den Pathologen eine noch aktivere und unmittelbarere Teilnahme an interdisziplinären Tumorkonferenzen.

Abstract

Virtual microscopy will revolutionize pathology similar to the changes in radiological imaging by digitization and this holds especially true for oncological diagnostics. The digitization will simplify and speed up cooperation among pathologists. The intensified use of quantitative methods for the assessment of morphological changes will lead to less variability and increased reproducibility. Virtual microscopy offers pathologists the opportunity to take part in interdisciplinary tumor boards in a more active and direct manner.
