Informatics
Informatics is the management of information. Pathologists, unfortunately, mostly have poor tools for this job.
Software in use at pathology departments
Information systems
- Softpath.
- CoPath.
- MEDITECH.
- Millennium.
- Nexus pas.net.
- VANTAGE.
Dictation
Content management
Biobanking management
- Centraxx.
Image analysis
Pathology wikis
- Wiki use for the dissemination of pathology knowledge is increasing.
- In the general sphere, Wikipedia is dominating and will probably continue to do so.[3]
Open source
Open source in pathology appears to be some way off. One opinion paper[4] addresses this issue.
The radiologists are more on the ball here, e.g. UCLA's OpenSourcePACS.[5]
A few institutions (mostly American) are coming to understand this and have formed the Open Digital Pathology Consortium (opendp.org). There is also an open slide project (openslide.org).
QPath is a open source software platform for whole slide image analysis.[6]
Cytomine is a web-based open source image processing and analysis software.
ASAP is an open-source whole-slide image viewer.
Ilastik - interactive learning and segmentation toolkit is an open source tool to perform segmentation and classification of images. Currently it does not support full virtual slides.[7]
Health informatics directory
- The University of Freiburg put together a list in 2010.[8]
