Specialist of BioVitrum Dmitry Timofeev raised another important topic for the development of the forensic examination. He made a presentation on the theme of Telepathology. Telepathology is the use of Telemedicine technologies in the process of conducting life-long autopsy studies in order to establish or confirm a pathological anatomical diagnosis. Telepathology involves working with digital cases. For each sample under study, an electronic direction is formed, and then digital macro description and macro photography are carried out. All data is entered into the laboratory information system, after which digital microdescription and scanning of microscopic preparations are performed. Telepathology allows you to create electronic archives and analyze data on each case remotely, online.

In his report, the BioVitrum specialist also spoke about the modern solutions of BioVitrum in the field of telepathology, which greatly simplify the work of pathologists.
