Advancement of digital technology and global connectivity has given rise to telemedicine and telepathology in both human and veterinary fields. While technical basis of histopathology has changed little since 19th century and is still fundamental, digital pathology has already been integrated into veterinary colleges, hospitals and diagnostic laboratories. Automated slide image analysis and artificial intelligence have been used in biomedical research. Further advancement of such technologies is inevitable. Traditional gross pathology and light microscopy will change, and these will affect the way clinicians, pathologists and researchers visualize, analyze and share their cases. It is crucial to learn and adapt to these advancements in the current era of digitization.
