[Intraoperative telediagnosis of breast biopsies]

Intraoperative real-time telediagnosis from cryostat sections of the breast can increase the quality of postmortem diagnosis. Moreover, the average accuracy of histological diagnosis was as high as 93.5% or increased by 4.4% as compared with traditional microscopy. According to the nature of the pathological process, this increase reached 86.7% (by 5.4%) for nontumor pathology and 95.9 (by 5.1%) and 95.8% (by 1.9%) for benign and malignant neoplasms, respectively. Intraoperative telediagnosis was most effective in a rare breast pathology that presented difficulties in the use of traditional microscopy, by calling for discussion of the histological pattern and colleagues' consultative support.
