Abstract: A digital pathology system for recording and displaying field of view portions that have been viewed in the context of developing a diagnosis for a pathology case. A whole slide image is presented with shading overlaid on the image illustrating those portions that have been viewed. Portions of the WSI that have received the pathologist's attention at different magnifications are marked with distinguishing hatching.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and products are described that provide for a histology workflow management system and associated functions. One aspect provides for accessing one or more digital specimen images; generating one or more patient records and one or more case records; matching the one or more digital specimen images to the one or more case records based on one or more image properties of the one or more digital specimen images; and facilitating one or more image review functions comprising image quality, case matching, tissue block matching, and case completeness functions. Other aspects and embodiments are also described herein.

Abstract: A system and method of increasing digital pathology productivity is provided. The system accepts case information from a plurality of sources and pre-processes that information in order to present the slides in an order and orientation dictated by preference and/or reviewing standard. Upon application of the system and method, the appearance and behavior of the user interface is optimized for the user.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and products are described that provide control configuration for a digital image system. One aspect provides for a system configured to identify one or more input control devices in communication with a digital image application operating on said system, the one or more input devices comprising one or more control elements; activating an input control device mode based on a number of identified input control devices; and mapping the one or more control elements of each input control device to one or more digital image application functions based on a type of the input control device and the input control mode. Other aspects and embodiments are also described herein.

Abstract: A digital pathology system has a central workflow server hosting digital pathology application services and supporting one or more pathology workstations. The digital pathology system may include one or more image servers, providing digital images of sample specimen slides that are associated with medical cases. Residing at and executing on each pathology workstation is a digital pathology application client, which is the counterpart of digital pathology application services at the central workflow server. The combination of digital pathology application services at the central workflow server and digital pathology application client at each pathology workstation support a pathology workflow software module and a slide viewer software module. The present disclosure also describes a method of operation and/or use of the digital pathology system.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and products are described that provide for digital pathology image manipulation. One aspect provides for displaying one or more digital specimen images on a display device in one or more viewing windows arranged in one or more viewing configurations; and associating one or more images through one or more correlation processes comprising image co-registration, image locking, and image overlay processes. Other aspects and embodiments are also described herein.

Abstract: Image quality is assessed for a digital image that is a composite of tiles or other image segments, especially focus accuracy for a microscopic pathology sample. An algorithm or combination of algorithms correlated to image quality is applied to pixel data at margins where adjacent image segments overlap and thus contain the same content in separately acquired images. The margins may be edges merged to join the image segments smoothly into a composite image, and typically occur on four sides of the image segments. The two versions of the same image content at each margin are processed by the quality algorithm, producing two assessment values. A sign and difference value are compared with other image segments, including by subsets selected for the orientation of the margins on sides on the image segments. The differences are mapped to displays. Selection criteria determine segments to be re-acquired.
