target senior medical students and interns. A team developed the Interactive Digital Pathology Repository (iDPR) as a
platform which unites 2D and 3D high-resolution anatomical pathology images along with matching digital histopathology
data. An advanced platform underwent thorough evaluation through mixed-methods research that included pathology
knowledge pre-and-post assessments as well as quality impact survey results and user feedback from focus groups and eyetracking analysis for studying user engagement with 2D and 3D images. The iDPR system improved user understanding of
pathology because nurses achieved higher quiz scores after using it (n = 69, p < 0.001). The platform gained strong positive
feedback regarding its main design elements from most of the surveyed users. The iDPR received positive feedback from
focus groups for being an important online teaching tool yet technical problems were mentioned. Diagnostic pathological
lesions became detectable quicker through 3D images than through 2D images according to eye-tracking results. The iDPR
demonstrates promising potential for use in pathology education for senior medical students and interns because of the
gathered good quantitative and qualitative user feedback. The tool has the potential to transform diagnostic pathology and
telepathology through additional development of interactivity and annotation features alongside technological progress. At a
later stage of development, the iDPR system could implement virtual reality or holographic imaging technology to enhance its
ability for rapid diagnosis through detailed anatomical specimen visualization</Abstract><Email>Praveen@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>14</volume><issue>2</issue><year>2024</year><keyword>Digital Pathology, Medical Education, E-Learning, 3D Visualization</keyword><AUTHORS>Dr. Praveen CS1*, Dr. Elakkya K2</AUTHORS><afflication>1Associate Professor, Department of Pathology, PSP medical College and hospitals, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. 2Associate Professor, Department of Pathology, Indira medical College and hospitals, Thiruvallur, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.</afflication></Article></Articles>
