Telepathology is the practice of pathology at distance viewing images on a monitor rather than directly through a light microscope. Telepathology Technologies included Static & Dynamic forms. This technology can be used in: Primary diagnosis, Second opinion, Quality assurance, Proficiency testing & Distance learning. To create a telemedicine channel between Italy & Egypt we began by signing a protocol of cooperation between the CIVICO hospital in Palermo & The Italian Hospital in Cairo and training of the ITmanager of the Italian Hospital in Cairo in Palermo for two weeks. Our project was divided into four phases: Telepathology, Tele-echocardiography, Tele-radiology & Tele-Endoscopy. For the First phase , We evaluated of the costs and find a fund for this, searched for the best instruments in the Egyptian market with the highest qualifications, downloaded the same software that was used in Pittsburg and Palermo and began of the connection.
