Abstract: A laboratory information system (LIS) is linked with a whole slide image (WSI) management system to build a pathology image management system that can efficiently manage and utilize a digitized pathology image. A scan notification notifying that an image of a glass slide is scanned by a scanner is delivered to the LIS from the WSI management system to form a WSI link in the LIS, so that the LIS is linked with the WSI management system. By linking two systems with each other can eliminate the problem of mixing up specimens, for example, and hence, a pathologist can easily grasp the status of a pathology sample for which the pathologist is responsible.
