Rapid advances in informatics and technological improvements
                have led to the development of high-throughput whole-slide
                imaging (WSI) scanners able to produce high-quality digital
                images, which allow achieving a correct diagnosis of the
                biopsies using virtual viewers. This technology is currently
                prepared to be introduced in the departments of pathology for
                routine diagnosis. The aim of this review is to analyze the
                current evidence regarding the use of WSI in primary or routine
                diagnosis in the different subspecialties of pathology. An
                increasing number of studies have shown almost perfect inter-
                and intraobserver agreement between the diagnoses obtained with
                WSI and the classical diagnoses based on conventional light
                microscopy. The only exception seems to be cytology, which still
                requires some technological development. Although validation
                studies are needed in some areas of pathology, growing evidence
                indicates that WSI is a reliable tool for routine diagnosis.
                Pathologists have a positive perception of the ergonomics of the
                workstations, the low magnification of WSI and the possibility
                of making annotations and measurements. WSI can be used from any
                device and anywhere, thereby providing great opportunities for
                teleconsultation. New technologies such as the recognition of
                histopathology patterns using image analysis may facilitate
                diagnosis and improve the reproducibility among pathologists in
                the future.
