We investigated the basic diagnostic processes used in telepathology with our robotic still-image system, OLMICOS, by analysing the steps and patterns used in 20 consecutive tissue section diagnoses. Three basic approaches were recognized. One was magnifying a suspect finding in a low-powered microscopic image. This approach was used mostly for confirming or characterizing a tumour. The second approach was scanning over a low-powered image by magnifying square images to form a mesh. This was found to be useful to confirm the presence or absence of signs and was mostly used as the initial step in judging the surgical margin of malignant cases or diagnosing lesions. The third approach was a combination of these two and was used for delineating the surgical margin, confirming the absence of metastases or diagnosing difficult lesions. Recognition of these three basic diagnostic approaches is important in making a rapid and correct remote diagnosis.
