Validation of a Digital Pathology Whole Slide Imaging System
نویسنده
چکیده
Digital whole slide imaging (WSI) provides a complement to traditional histopathology assessments of glass tissue slides for toxicologic pathology. WSI allows users to view images of entire slide content, or selected fields at increasing magnifications, and to compare multiple slide images simultaneously. The technology incorporates robust image databases with metadata and search & retrieval capabilities, and enables the use of digital slide images for cross-site collaboration and teleconsultation.

Color standardization and optimization in Whole Slide Imaging
INTRODUCTION Standardization and validation of the color displayed by digital slides is an important aspect of digital pathology implementation. While the most common reason for color variation is the variance in the protocols and practices in the histology lab, the color displayed can also be affected by variation in capture parameters (for example, illumination and filters), image processing ...
متن کاملValidation of Whole Slide Imaging in Pathology
Validation of whole slide imaging (WSI) is an important process for clinical practice. From a vendor perspective, validation seeks to achieve premarket approval from a regulatory agency in order for them to sell their WSI devices for an intended use (e.g., primary diagnosis). Academic validations are different, as these research studies typically result in publications reporting results of a se...
متن کاملScientific and Regulatory Policy Committee (SRPC) paper: validation of digital pathology systems in the regulated nonclinical environment.
Digital Pathology Systems (DPS) are dynamic, image-based computer systems that enable the acquisition, management, and interpretation of pathology information generated from digitized glass slides. This article provides a roadmap for (1) qualification of a whole slide scanner (WSS) during a validation project, (2) validation of software required to generate the whole slide image (WSI), and (3) ...
متن کاملValidating whole slide imaging for diagnostic purposes in pathology: guideline from the College of American Pathologists Pathology and Laboratory Quality Center.
CONTEXT There is increasing interest in using whole slide imaging (WSI) for diagnostic purposes (primary and/or consultation). An important consideration is whether WSI can safely replace conventional light microscopy as the method by which pathologists review histologic sections, cytology slides, and/or hematology slides to render diagnoses. Validation of WSI is crucial to ensure that diagnost...
متن کاملUse of whole slide imaging in surgical pathology quality assurance: design and pilot validation studies.
By imaging large numbers of slides automatically at high resolution, modem automated whole slide imaging (WSI) systems have the potential to become useful tools in pathology practice. This article describes a pilot validation study for use of automated high-speed WSI systems for surgical pathology quality assurance (QA). This was a retrospective comparative study in which 24 full genitourinary ...
