Last month ASCP Press published a new book on pathology informatics, the first multi-authored textbook on the subject geared towards a comprehensive review of the field of pathology informatics.
Drs. Pantanowitz (UPMC), Weinstein (U of Arizona) and myself have a chapter devoted to telepathology and whole slide imaging.
A must read (at a great price) for resident or practicing pathologist alike as well as anyone with interests in the diverse nature of pathology informatics for practical management, operations, budgeting and project planning.
