The e-Slide in the e-Laboratory of Cytology: Where are We?

The work approaches the new technological scenario relevant to the introduction of the e-slide in the e-Laboratory of cytology. A detailed analysis of the state of introduction of the technology based on the e-slides has been conducted. The analysis focused on the ICT technologies available for both the remote diagnosis and the cooperative diagnosis in the Hospital based using the e-slide. In particular the work critically investigated the scenarios of introduction of the e-slides with particular attention to the client/server technologies, the tablet solutions, the 3D Virtual reality solutions. From a global point of view the chapter showed that the today’s technologies using the e-slide have a great potentiality in the digital-cytology.
