A new open access journal for veterinary science is in preparation. Please find more information about aims and scope unter the menue "Authors Lounge"/"Editorial Board" and "Authors Guidlines". For clinical content visit " MedUp vetpoo"l or the young talent scientific poster journal "MedUp rookie".
Virtual microscopy or the diagnostic work with a completely digitized glass slide opens an effective tissue-based diagnosis. Based upon the experiences of telepathology application it has already reached a promising level of technology. Machines equipped with appropriate magazines can scan a glass slide in a few minutes. Software tools that are embedded or closely linked to hospital information systems work with open standards. They act as nodes in a network that meets the challenges of globalization in diagnostic pathology.
Additional fields of diagnostic medicine such as live imaging techniques as well as therapeutic strategies can be implemented. The final system will probably act as integrated medical Grid trying to offer an efficient and high performance service for the patient.
