  • Publication number: 20220301691
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to image viewers, in particular biomedical images viewers that can concurrently render biomedical images at various magnifications or resolutions. The computing system can identify tiles from a first portion of a biomedical image. Each tile can correspond to a magnification level and coordinates in the biomedical image. The computing system can provide the tiles for concurrent display in respective graphical user interface (GUI) elements. The computing system can detect an interaction with a GUI element. The computing system can identify a change in coordinates for a tile displayed in the GUI element based on the interaction. The computing system can determine a second change in the other concurrently displayed tiles based on the change in coordinates. The computing system can update the concurrent display of the tiles based on the changes.
