To highlight the impact of telepathology on diagnostic accuracy and workflow.

Main Methods:

Utilized public access telecommunication systems, including telephone lines, digitized networks (ISDN), and satellite communication.
Employed remote control microscopes for intraoperative histological image classification (frozen sections).
Conducted expert consultations and panel discussions via telecommunication networks.

Main Results:

Remote control microscopes demonstrated practicability and reliability in daily diagnostic work.
Transferred image quality was sufficient for sophisticated diagnoses.
Telepathology significantly improved diagnostic accuracy, staining quality, tissue handling, and diagnostic reliability.

Conclusions:

Telepathology, utilizing remote control microscopes and digital networks, is a viable and reliable tool for modern pathology.
Telecommunication significantly enhances diagnostic capabilities and positively impacts legal aspects of medical practice.
The integration of telecommunication systems is crucial for advancing pathology services and patient outcomes.
