1. A hematology review network comprising: a slide imager including a low magnification optical path and a high magnification optical path, and configured to receive a blood smear slide, obtain a low magnification image of at least a portion of the blood smear slide, and obtain at least one high magnification image of a portion of the blood smear slide; an image server operably coupled to the slide imager and configured to compute an area of interest within the low magnification image, direct the slide imager to obtain one or more high magnification images of the entire area of interest, identify a plurality of white blood cells in the one or more high magnification images, and recompute and rescan a larger area of interest in at least one high magnification image if the count of white blood cells identified in the at least one high magnification image is below a threshold value; a web server including a workflow management application, the web server configured to store and disseminate the at least one high magnification image to one of a plurality of reviewers, the specific reviewer selected by the workflow management application based on a plurality of programmable parameters; and at least one review station configured to communicate with the web server, display the at least one high magnification image, and receive an image information input from the specific reviewer, wherein the image information input is stored on the web server.
