Anatomic pathology, like radiology, works with images primarily. The difference is that radiology uses PACS, whereas pathology still uses 300 year old technology in the form of microscopes.
It is likely that pathology will adopt a PACS-like system for slides in the future, but the question is "when?"
Also, why hasn't there been more of a shift towards digitizing slides as the standard? Or is there and I'm just not aware of it?
