The society was founded to perform intraoperative rapid diagnosis using image transfer from remote locations for hospitals without full-time pathologists on site. One unique feature is that our members include venders of optical equipment, communication and information systems in addition to pathologists and pathology technicians.

In order to expand digital pathology, we hold a regular meeting once a year. In addition, various workshops and symposiums are held in cooperation with the Japanese Society of Pathology, the Japanese Society of Clinical Cytology, and the Japanese Society of Telemedicine.

With the support of our members, we would like to further promote the activities of this study group.
