The first conference of Austrian and Hungarian pathologists was a great success

The Austrian and the Hungarian Societies of Pathologists have closed a conference which was held in Sopron for the first time with great success. Classic pathology and slide seminars with virtopsy and molecular oncological sessions were the main areas touched. On the first morning meetings were separated, and held in Hungarian and German, from the afternoon, the sections and discussions were in English.

Pathology Visions conference in San Diego

The time for digital pathology is just around the corner. The Aperio users conference is now converted into a digital pathology meeting. European and American regions both have the technique available, while there are still unanswered questions about financial models, billing and security. Main trials have evaluated the accuracy of digitally scanned slides, and the results are confirming the diagnosis made with classic microscopy. The cases not suitable for telepathology can easily be identified, but legal issues and reporting have yet to be considered.
