Abstract：
Telepathology, as a subset of teleconsulting, is pathology interpretation performed at a distance. Telepathology is not a new phenomenon, but since ~2015, significant advances in information technology and telecommunications coupled with the pandemic have led to unprecedented sophistication, accessibility, and use of telepathology in human and veterinary medicine. Furthermore, telepathology can connect veterinary practices to distant laboratories and provide support for underserved animals and communities. Through our scoping review, we provide an overview of how telepathology is being used in veterinary medicine, identify gaps in the literature, and highlight future areas of research and service development. We searched MEDLINE, CAB Abstracts, and the gray literature, and included all relevant literature. Despite the widespread use of digital microscopy in large veterinary diagnostic laboratories, we identified a paucity of literature describing the use of telepathology in veterinary medicine, with a significant gap in studies addressing the validation of whole-slide imaging for primary diagnosis. Underutilization of telepathology to support postmortem examinations conducted in the field was also identified, which indicates a potential area for service development. The use of telepathology is increasing in veterinary medicine, and pathologists must keep pace with the changing technology, ensure the validation of innovative technologies, and identify novel uses to advance the profession.
摘要：
心电病理学,作为远程咨询的一个子集，是远处进行的病理学解释。心电病理学不是一个新现象，但自2015年以来，信息技术和电信的显著进步加上大流行导致了前所未有的复杂性，可访问性,以及心灵感应病理学在人类和兽医学中的应用。此外，远程病理学可以将兽医实践与遥远的实验室联系起来，并为服务不足的动物和社区提供支持。通过我们的范围审查，我们概述了如何在兽医学中使用心灵感应病理学，找出文献中的空白，并强调未来的研究和服务发展领域。我们搜索了MEDLINE,CAB文摘,和灰色文学，包括所有相关文献。尽管在大型兽医诊断实验室中广泛使用数字显微镜，我们发现，描述心灵感应在兽医学中使用的文献很少，在验证全载玻片成像用于主要诊断的研究中存在显著差距。还确定了未充分利用心灵感应病理学来支持在该领域进行的尸检，这表明了服务发展的潜在领域。在兽医学中，心灵感应的使用越来越多，病理学家必须跟上不断变化的技术，确保创新技术的验证，并确定新颖的用途来推进职业发展。
