Decision Support System for Multiuser Remote Microscopy in Telepathology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent advances in networking, robotics, and computer technology allow today realtime diagnosis, consultation, and education by using images obtained through remote microscopy. This paper presents a new approach in telepathology, the Image Guided Decision Support (IGDS) system, which integrates components for both remote microscope control and decision support. Using the Micro-Controller component the physician can command a robotic microscope from the distance, obtain high-quality images to be used in the diagnosis, and authorize other users to visualize the same images. The image understanding-based Decision Support component of the system locates, retrieves and displays cases which exhibit morphological pro les consistent to the case in question and suggests the most likely diagnosis based on majority logic. The IGDS system has a natural man-machine interface containing engines for speech recognition and voice feedback.

Dynamic telepathology uses a teleoperated microscope to allow pathologists to view samples at a remote location. However, time delays introduced by remote operation have made use of a commercial dynamic telepathology system difficult and frustrating. This paper describes the iterative redesign of the user interface. We redesigned the interface, conducted experiments to evaluate the improvements...
متن کاملDiagnostic Transmission Electron Microscopy
The high resolution and sensitivity of electron microscopy is still a valuable tool, and for some diseases it is the gold standard in pathological diagnosis. Today the sample turnaround time for processing in the lab can be significantly reduced from days to hours by the microwave technology. In urgent clinical cases, microwaveassisted tissue processing, in combination with digital image acquis...
