简介：数字病理学包括信息技术，允许管理解剖病理学部门产生的信息，包括数据和图像。COST行动IC0604：将数字幻灯片整合到电子健康记录中是成本行动IC0604“欧洲远程病理网络”(EURO-Telepath)的主要目标之一。促进医学信息学标准的使用，并使其适应当前的需求，是有效管理超大医学图像所必需的，如数字幻灯片文件。病理学中的数字幻灯片：数字幻灯片可以在疾病预防、初步诊断和第二意见中发挥作用。在所有这些任务中，自动图像分析也是最有价值的工具。病理信息系统的互操作性：为了实现病理信息系统与其他临床信息系统之间的高效互操作，在Web环境下实现病理图像(大体图像和数字幻灯片)与LIS-病理信息系统的无缝集成是一项重要的任务。初级保健信息系统也应纳入整合，因为初级保健中心在产生临床信息和采集标本方面发挥着重要作用。还需要一个基于SNOMED CT的通用术语。结论：在病理工作流程和电子健康记录中整合数字幻灯片的主要障碍是当前数字幻灯片扫描仪的成本。病理信息系统供应商应参与标准化机构。
Introduction: Digital pathology includes the information technology that allows for the management of information, including data and images, generated in an anatomic pathology department.COST Action IC0604: The integration of digital slides in the electronic health record is one of the main objectives of COST Action IC0604 "Telepathology Network in Europe" (EURO-TELEPATH). Fostering use of medical informatics standards and adapting them to current needs is needed to manage efficiently extremely large medical images, like digital slide files.Digital slides in Pathology: Digital slides can play a role in disease prevention, primary diagnosis, and second opinion. In all these tasks, automated image analysis can also be a most valuable tool.Interoperability in pathology information systems: In order to achieve an efficient interoperability between pathology information systems with other clinical information systems, obtaining a seamless integration of pathology images (gross pictures and digital slides) with LIS-Pathology Information system in a web environment is an important task. Primary care information systems should also be included in the integration, since primary care centres play an essential role in the generation of clinical information and specimen collection. A common terminology, based in SNOMED CT is also needed.Conclusions: Main barrier in the integration of digital slides in pathology workflow and eHealth record is the cost of current digital slide scanners. Pathology information system vendors should participate in standardization bodies.
