Diagnostic reproducibility and accuracy in cytology and histology are major issues in Oncologic Screenings (cervix, breast and colorectal cancer). Slides standard set represents the most used method to compare diagnostic proficiency. Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) realized a software to manage cytological and histological whole-slides digital images building a picture archive and communication system (PACS) among regional pathologists and realizing an e-learning platform (Docebo) for applicants: slides were “teaching objects” for a seminar educational software. Collected and cataloged cases in an on-line digital archive of slides, enact as database for a casistic atlas online.
