Digital pathology is pathology done with a digital computer.
Digital slides
- Typical cytology slide ~ 5 GB.
- Typical anatomical pathology slide > 2 GB.
Whole-Slide Images
- Most common formats:
Aperio (.svs, .tif) Philips (.tiff) Hamamatsu (.vms, .vmu, .ndpi) Leica (.scn) Sakura (.svslide) MIRAX (.mrxs) Ventana (.bif, .tif) Generic tiled TIFF (.tif)
SlideJ is a plugin for ImageJ for viewing most of the above mentioned formats.[1] A free C library exists to read whole-slide images.[2]
- There is a push for an open virtual slide format.
- There is now a DICOM standard for whole slide images.
- Most important criterion for virtual microscopy: Pathologists need the ability to rapidly pan and zoom images. When Z‑planes are available, viewers must also provide rapid scrolling though the planes.
