And Storage

Abstract Context.—Digital imaging is increasingly common in medicine. Vendors of anatomic pathology software have addressed this need by integrating digital image acquisition and storage into their products. While offering a number of advantages, these solutions cannot be easily adapted to accommodate the existing work flow for many pathology departments. Objective.—To describe a novel solution that maintains the advantages of these integrated solutions but offers many additional flexibilities, making it more compatible with the work flow in most clinical departments. Design.—This solution involves separating the image acquisition step from the image archiving process and creating dual-image storages for greater usability. Software needed to deploy this modular and scalable solution is described. Results.—We have deployed this solution at our institution and achieved widespread acceptance and use, with minimal training required. Deployment in the surgical pathology gross specimen room, in particular, has resulted in a significant increase in the number of photographs taken and the percentage of cases documented photographically. Conclusions.—The complete clinical digital imaging solution described herein is an effective, scalable solution for pathology imaging at a departmental level. Although developed and implemented in an anatomic pathology department, the method described is generally applicable to digital imaging in any large multiuser environment.

Single Living Cells

Advances in digital imaging microscopy and in the synthesis of fluorescent dyes allow the determination of 3D distribution of specific proteins, ions, GNA or DNA in single living cells. Effective use of this technology requires a combination of optical and computer hardware and software for image restoration, feature extraction and computer graphics.The digital imaging microscope consists of a conventional epifluorescence microscope with computer controlled focus, excitation and emission wavelength and duration of excitation. Images are recorded with a cooled (-80°C) CCD. 3D images are obtained as a series of optical sections at .25 - .5 μm intervals.A conventional microscope has substantial blurring along its optical axis. Out of focus contributions to a single optical section cause low contrast and flare; details are poorly resolved along the optical axis. We have developed new computer algorithms for reversing these distortions. These image restoration techniques and scanning confocal microscopes yield significantly better images; the results from the two are comparable.
