Brauchli K Christen H Meyer P Haroske G Meyer W Kunze KD Otto R Oberholzer M 2000 Although telepathology systems have been developed for more than a decade, they are still not a widespread tool for routine diagnostic applications. Lacking interoperability, software that is not satisfying user needs as well as high costs have been identified as reasons. In this paper we would like to demonstrate that with a clear separation of the tasks required for a telepathology application, telepathology systems can be built in a modular way, where many modules can be implemented using standard software components. With such a modular design, systems can be easily adapted to changing user needs and new technological developments and it is easier to integrate modular systems into existing environments. application/pdf https://sonar.ch/global/documents/279384 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1155/2000/745703 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/11339567 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Analytical cellular pathology : the journal of the European Society for Analytical Cellular Pathology. - 2000 Computer Systems Expert Systems Humans Robotics Software Design Telepathology Telepathology: design of a modular system. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
