Zusammenfassung

With the introduction of whole slide imaging (WSI) systems, several digital pathology applications have emerged. Despite all benefits, lacking appropriate infrastructure to process proprietary WSI file formats for remote diagnosis and annotation is a constraint for widespread application of digital pathology. The joint imaging platform (JIP) already includes a wide range of solutions for digital medical image processing, mainly focused on radiology. We extend the infrastructure in the JIP for accessing, storage, remote analysis and deep learningbased processing of pathological data. By converting proprietaryWSI file formats into the DICOM standard, we enable the linkage of radiology and pathology on the JIP and show potential applications in current research studies.
