[Reliability of the anatomopathological diagnosis by static image transfer]

50 hepatic biopsies and 50 prostatic biopsies were submitted for diagnostic to an expert by the mean of static images previously digitalized by a consulting pathologist. Accuracy of diagnosis was obtained in 2 minutes with 4 images in 86% of cases. Additional data such as new images, several power fields, permitted accuracy of diagnosis in 98% of the cases. The experiences showed clearly that the quality of the transferred static images is sufficient to allow diagnoses. It pointed out the importance of the different actors involved in the consultation. It illustrates the possible use of this system as a training tool.
