Abstract

Dynamic telepathology uses a remotely controlled microscope to allow a pathologist to viewsamples at a remote location. However, time delays introduced by remote operation have made use
of a commercial dynamic telepathology system difficult and frustrating. This paper describes
experiments to evaluate and redesign the user interface. We also make recommendations for
further automation to support the pathology process and increase the usefulness of the system.
