Telepathology is currently being used for a wide spectrum of clinical applications including diagnosing of frozen section specimens,[10] primary histopathology diagnoses,[11] second opinion diagnoses,[12] subspecialty pathology expert diagnoses,[13] investigative and regulated preclinical toxicology studies,[14] education,[15] competency assessment,[16] and research. Benefits of telepathology include providing immediate access to off-site pathologists for rapid frozen section diagnoses. Another benefit can be gaining direct access to subspecialty pathologists such as a renal pathologist, a neuropathologist, or a dermatopathologist, for immediate consultations.
