1. Ubiquitous Virtual Slide System of Korea Woo Young Jang M.D.,M.S. Hallym University College of Medicine Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital Department Chief of Medical Informatics of Korean Society for Cytopathology

2.  Powerful and useful tool for diagnosis & education of pathology  A good diagnostic tool substitute for light microscopy  Wide visual field, fast search, easy focusing gives good environment for diagnosis  Save warehouse space for store of paraffin slide blocks and glass slides Virtual Slide ?

3.  The hardware is too expensive to buy.  It takes some time to scan the glass slides for making virtual slide.  Senior staffs are not familiar with computer system for diagnosis.  The size of data is very big for management. Problem of Virtual Slide ?

4.  The hardware is too expensive to buy.  Buy retail server at friendly company with discount price. Get free service of virtual slide machine from friendly company by negotiation. Only one set of system needed to solve the problem. The Solution for Problem of Virtual Slide ?

5.  It takes some time to scan the glass slides for making virtual slide.  Use the multi slide tray & run overnight processing. – Multiple case Single case – No problem (about 5minute) The Solution for Problem of Virtual Slide ?

6.  Senior staffs are not familiar with computer system for diagnosis.  Pair up with Resident or Fellow. Resident or Fellow operate the system & Senior staff presents the opinion. When they finish discussion & reach agreement, the diagnosis is decided. The Solution for Weak Point of Virtual Slide ?

7.  The size of data is very big for management.  Free compression software, High speed of internet line & high performance computer system could make a relative small sized data file, large storage & fast operation. * Loading time of 1.27Gbyte sized file ; 10second * Compression ratio ; 1:3 to 1:20 * Size of storage ; up to 1Tbyte HDD The Solution for Weak Point of Virtual Slide ?

8. Korean Society for Cytopathology  Make a ‘PARADIGM SHIFT’  Diagnostic tool - Light microscopy only - Old fashioned thinking - Combination use of Light microscope & computer system are essential - Must make a Pathology Slide Database for Future; academic & commercial purpose

9. The Advance for Ubiquitous Environment  Giving some information & experience about the virtual slide to the members. We link the virtual slide samples at our homepage. * Easy WEB browsing via the Internet * http://www.cytopathol.comhttp://www.cytopathol.com * http://www.digitalpathology.co.krhttp://www.digitalpathology.co.kr

18. The Advance for Ubiquitous Environment  Starting free browsing/downloading service of virtual slide at our New FTP server. * Combined Cable/ Wireless Internet ;Combined Cable/ Wireless Internet ; KT MEGAPASS/NESPOT/WIBRO * Fixed IP/DNS Emulation software ; CODNSFixed IP/DNS Emulation software ; CODNS * Free FTP software ; ALFTPFree FTP software ; ALFTP * Free Voice Chatting software ; SKYPEFree Voice Chatting software ; SKYPE * Free Anti-Virus/Spyware software ; ALYACFree Anti-Virus/Spyware software ; ALYAC
