Informatics is the management of information. Pathologists, unfortunately, mostly have poor tools for this job.
Software in use at pathology departments
Information systems
Dictation
Content management
Pathology wikis
Main article: Pathology wikis
- Wiki use for the dissemination of pathology knowledge is increasing.
- In the general sphere, Wikipedia is dominating and will probably continue to do so.[1]
Open source
Open source in pathology appears to be some way off. One opinion paper[2] addresses this issue.
The radiologists are more on the ball here, e.g. UCLA's OpenSourcePACS.[3]
A few institutions (mostly American) are coming to understand this and have formed the Open Digital Pathology Consortium.
Virtual slides
- There is a push for an open virtual slide format.
- A free C library exists to read whole-slide images.[4]
