Abstract

The CERDEC (Center for Teaching, Research and Documentation in Cytology) provides aid in diagnostic services to pathologists. Usually, the questionable slides were carried or sent to the laboratory by mail; they were reviewed by two experts, whose opinion was returned to the sender together with the slides. Recently, to such a conventional aid to diagnosis, the CERDEC has added a diagnostic telepathology service.
