摘要
Context.-Assessment of accuracy and feasibility of whole slide imaging (WSI) for interinstitutional consultation in surgical pathology. Objectives.-To train technical and pathologist staff in WSI technology, establish and evaluate a WSI workflow using training cases and second-opinion consultations, and assess diagnostic accuracy. Design.-First, WSI training and evaluation using selected subspecialty service cases were performed and compared with the clinical glass slide (GS) diagnosis. Second, WSI and GS diagnoses of consecutive, second-opinion consultation cases were compared. Discrepancies underwent adjudication to determine a reference diagnosis. Participant observations on WSI initiation to practice were gathered. Results.-There were 130 cases evaluated, with 123 correlations (94.6%) and 6 minor (4.6%) and 1 major (0.8%) discrepancies. The 74 consultation cases interpreted had 52 correlations (70.3%), and 18 minor (24.3%) and 4 major (5.4%) discrepancies. The WSI and GS adjusted major discrepancy rates in second-opinion consultations were 2.7% (2 of 74) and 4.1% (3 of 74), respectively. Statistical analysis showed that WSI was not inferior to GS interpretation. Pathologists agreed the software was easy to use and the images were adequate, but more time was spent rendering WSI interpretations. Conclusions.-A significant learning curve was observed in the transition from the training set to clinical consultation cases associated both with WSI interpretation and adjustments to the digital analogs of routine GS workflow. Results from second-opinion consultations indicated that WSI interpretation was as accurate as GS interpretation among properly trained and experienced users. Overall, WSI-based practice appears feasible for second-opinion consultations.
