The In Vivo
Microscopy (IVM) Resource Guide is one of four CAP Resource Guides that bring a
collected set of resources together in one place that are focused on a specific
hot-topic technology important to pathologists. Each guide highlights current
resources, such as a curated set of journal articles, and a collected set of
CAP resources that includes learning opportunities, proficiency testing, and
accreditation that are related to this technology. Also, each Resource Guide
includes an Insights From Adopters section to gain
perspective from pathology leaders in the field. This Resource Guide is
designed in a modular manner to facilitate its use in several different ways.
For example, the guide may be used in its entirety as a comprehensive guide to
the rapidly evolving field of IVM. Conversely, it may be used by a pathologist
to focus on and gain a current understanding of the application of IVM to a
very specific organ system or disease process. Images comparing traditional
H&E to IVM images are included in several sections. The content has
been reviewed by experts at the CAP, but does not necessarily reflect the
official opinion of the College of American Pathologists.
