In order to facilitate pathological examination of a lesion (23a) in in vivo tissue, a system and method are provided having a computer system in which both a camera (19) for producing a digital macroscopic picture of the lesion, and an image (22) are coupled to the computer system. The image is responsive to the computer system and has optics for scanning the lesion to generate images representing microscopic sections of the lesion, which provide sufficient information for pathological examination of the lesion. The computer system generates location information, referencing the location in the microscopic picture of the lesion where the lesion was scanned to the images, and stores data in an electronic file structure which contains at least a macroscopic picture, and the location information.

La présente invention, qui concerne un système et procédé rendant plus facile l'examen pathologique in-vivo d'une lésion tissulaire (23a), porte notamment sur un système informatique auquel sont couplés une caméra (19) permettant de produire une image macroscopique numérique de la lésion ainsi qu'un imageur (22). L'imageur, qui est commandé par le système informatique, comporte une optique capable de balayer la lésion pour donner des images qui représentent des zones microscopiques de la lésion et qui donnent suffisamment d'informations pour l'examen pathologique de la lésion. Le système informatique produit des informations permettant de localiser dans l'image macroscopique de la lésion les emplacement d'où on a obtenu par balayage optique des images de la lésion. Le système informatique assure également le stockage des données dans une structure de fichier électronique qui contient au moins une image macroscopique et les informations de localisation.
