Review reveals technical and regulatory barriers limit routine whole slide imaging in clinical pathology, highlighting the need for standardized validation guidelines.

Key Points

Evaluate the current clinical status, regulatory challenges, technical requirements, and cost-benefit considerations of whole slide imaging in routine pathology practice.
Reviewed published literature on whole slide imaging across diagnostic, educational, and research domains.
Evaluated infrastructure requirements for remote frozen section diagnosis, laboratory information system integration, and regulatory validation.
Routine diagnostic adoption of whole slide imaging remains restricted to niche applications due to massive storage demands, high-bandwidth needs, and user interface limitations.
Demonstrated clinical benefits include remote frozen section interpretations, secondary consultations, quality assurance workflows, and digital image analysis.
Standardized validation guidelines and regulatory pathways for clinical diagnostic use remain underdeveloped despite preliminary feasibility studies.
