Which capability is typical of dynamic telepathology?

• A. Real-time connectivity and control of the slide
• B. Offline storage only
• C. Glass slide mailing
• D. Static image review only

Answer: (A)

Dynamic telepathology centers on live, interactive remote examination, where a pathologist can connect in real time and directly control the slide at the distant site. This means moving the microscope stage, changing magnification, focusing, and navigating across the slide while communicating with the on-site technician. The ability to manipulate the slide and see updated images instantly enables immediate consultation and diagnosis as if the pathologist were at the microscope. In contrast, offline storage, mailing glass slides, or reviewing only static images do not provide the real-time, two-way interaction that defines dynamic telepathology.
