Rapid focus map surveying for whole slide imaging with continuous sample motion.
Whole slide imaging (WSI) has recently been cleared for primary diagnosis in the U.S. A critical challenge of WSI is to perform accurate focusing in high speed. Traditional systems create a focus map prior to scanning. For each focus point on the map, a sample needs to be static in the x-y plane, and axial scanning is needed to maximize the contrast. Here we report a novel focus map surveying m...
متن کاملForeground Extraction for Histopathological Whole Slide Imaging
Segmentation of histopathological whole-slide images is a challenging task that requires dedicated approaches. In this paper, the foreand background segmentation problem is addressed by a combination of basic filters, which is evaluated against the established methods GrabCut and Watershed. It is shown that our computationally efficient, dedicated approach performs better than the technically m...
متن کاملWhole-body dynamic imaging with continuous bed motion PET/CT
Most dynamic imaging protocols require long scan times that are beyond the range of what can be supported in a routine clinical environment and suffer from various difficulties related to step and shoot imaging techniques. In this short communication, we describe continuous bed motion (CBM) imaging techniques to create clinically relevant 15 min whole-body dynamic PET imaging protocols. We also...
متن کاملSingle-frame rapid autofocusing for brightfield and fluorescence whole slide imaging.
A critical consideration for whole slide imaging (WSI) platform is to perform accurate autofocusing at high speed. Typical WSI systems acquire a z-stack of sample images and determine the best focal position by maximizing a figure of merit. This strategy, however, has suffered from several limitations, including low speed due to multiple image acquisitions, relatively low accuracy of focal plan...
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...
