About
P. Schlag is a pathologist whose pioneering work in telepathology has reshaped how frozen section diagnoses are delivered across distributed hospital networks. Based at the University Hospital Charité in Berlin—a sprawling institution with three separate campuses—Schlag recognized the critical need for rapid, expert second opinions during intraoperative consultations. Their most cited study introduced a dynamic-robotic telepathology system integrated with an ATM-based videoconferencing network, enabling real-time remote diagnosis of frozen sections. This innovation directly addressed the logistical challenge of providing timely pathology support when specialists are not physically present. While the 2000 paper has accumulated 3 citations, its true impact lies in demonstrating the clinical viability of telepathology for daily routine use—a concept that has since become foundational in digital pathology. Schlag’s work exemplifies how targeted technological solutions can bridge geographic gaps in healthcare, ensuring that even complex diagnostic decisions benefit from collaborative expertise, regardless of location. Their contributions remain a reference point for researchers developing telemedicine systems in pathology.
