The program provides feedback to laboratories using whole slide imaging for clinical applications. Participants upload their scanned whole slide images to the CAP designated server. In this educational program, an expert panel of pathologists, histotechnologists, and histotechnicians evaluates whole slide images for histologic technique and image quality. Participants receive laboratory-specific evaluations and participant summaries with performance benchmarking, commentary from evaluators, and peer comparison data as well as annotated feedback directly on their uploaded images.
Program Information
Participant laboratories may submit up to five stained coverslipped glass slides and corresponding scanned whole slide images per mailing.
Online whole slide images powered by DigitalScope technology
