- Abstract:
This website gives electronic access to several thousand pathology specimens in our pathology teaching collection. It is intended for use by undergraduate and postgraduate students in the health sciences. There are currently three main catalogues for: 1) the anatomical pathology collection, 2) the forensic pathology collection, and 3) the obstetrics and gynaecology collection. A paediatric pathology section is in the pipeline. This is an historical collection begun in the 1920s, so the cataloguing is rather old-fashioned. The specimens are catalogued by organ or system, e.g., kidneys, and then by broad pathological category, e.g., neoplasms. Each specimen has a brief description and commentary, along with good quality photographs. The emphasis is on macroscopic pathology - we are aiming to include more radiographic imaging and also microscopy going forward. The site also includes a more detailed section with student cases that are useful as teaching cases, specialist cases that present unusual cases, and a few online exhibitions around special topics. The website is a work in progress, so much of our material is still in the process of being reviewed and uploaded. For all that use the website, please be respectful of all the specimens and their images. Although anonymous now, they originate from real patients whose diseases were often distressing, painful and fatal.
