"The PathCentral Pathology Network will provide the basic framework for providing consultative services to our customers throughout the world and will improve access to expert opinion in both urban and rural areas," said Steven H. Hinrichs, MD, Department Chair.

The PathCentral Pathology Network enables physicians to upload case files using digital images for pathologists to review and render critical consulting diagnoses on both a global and a domestic real-time basis. In terms of scanning technology and imaging software, the Network is agnostic and designed to be non-exclusive - that is, open to all users regardless of location or consulting institution. The PathCentral Pathology Network seeks to connect the world's pathologists, incorporating tools from social media, making it an ideal forum for pathologists to send and perform consults, create connections, post information, share cases, ask questions, and expand professional relationships.
