dc.description.abstractDigital pathology promises a number of benefits in efficiency in surgical pathology yet the longer time required to review a virtual slide than a glass slide currently represents a significant barrier to the routine use of digital pathology We aimed to create a novel workstation that enables pathologists to view a case as quickly as on the conventional microscope The Leeds Virtual Microscope LVM was evaluated using a mixed factorial experimental design Twelve consultant pathologists took part each viewing one long cancer case 12 25 slides on the LVM and one on a conventional microscope Total time taken and diagnostic confidence were similar for the microscope and LVM as was the mean slide viewing time On the LVM participants spent a significantly greater proportion of the total task time viewing slides and revisited slides more often The unique design of the LVM enabling real time rendering of virtual slides while providing users with a quick and intuitive way to navigate within and between slides makes use of digital pathology in routine practice a realistic possibility With further practice with the system diagnostic efficiency on the LVM is likely to increase yet more
