Preface

Microscopes, ﬁrst used in medicine in 1653, have been the gold standard of pathologic diagnosis for hundreds of years. A new generation of miniature microscopes, however,has radically improvedthe ability of scientists, clinicians, and pathologists to view amazingly clear, high-resolution images of human tissue and cells in vivo via non-invasive procedures in real time at the point of care.

The new technology — called In Vivo Microscopy or IVM — therefore promises to advance early disease detection considerably and shorten the time to prognostication and treatment. This revolution in microscopy and diagnostics has huge implications for telepathology and telemedicine — two ﬁelds that are exploding in the brave new world of digital medicine.

This book is the ﬁrst to provide a comprehensive but concise update on the use of IVM technologies across all major organ systems with a

logical focus on cancer and inﬂammation. It describes both the science and practical application of IVM and the close translational collaboration between the diagnostician and researcher. Contributions by leading experts from around the world will show you the human body like never before and provide a complete picture of the state of the art of in vivo microscopy.

About the Editor

Andrew Quinn is from the western part of New York State, where he earned his undergraduate and medical degrees. He trained in anatomic and clinical pathology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, where he also completed fellowships in pathology informatics and cytopathology. During his informatics training, Andrew was introduced to Dr. Gary Tearney, who opened Andrew’s eyes to the potential of in vivo microscopy (IVM) in clinical and research pursuits. Dr. Tearney and Andrew collaborated over the years that followed to raise awareness about IVM within the pathology community and offered the ﬁrst educational course on the diagnosis of IVM images. Andrew has practiced clinical informatics and cytopathology since ﬁnishing his training. He served as the Director of Pathology Informatics at Parkland Health and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, from 2015 to 2024.
