DICOM format

[Derek Magee]

Hi Martin,

There is a DICOM standard for digital pathology (Supplement 145) yes, and it should be standard between vendors. Some info:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3097525/
https://www.sectra.com/medical/pathology/resources/articles/dicom_standard_for_digital_pathology.html


Not all vendors are supporting this, and some only as an optional export format (I get the impression the vendors don't like it much, but are being forced down this route by circumstance*  anyway, but I may be wrong). There is even basic Openslide implementation, although I'm not sure it's been merged into the main openslide yet (google for discussions on this subject).

* Clinical adoption in the Netherlands I think will go this route to maintain vendor neutrality

Subject: DICOM format

I have a question: my colleague was recently talking to Roche about virtual microscopy. They mentioned something about the DICOM format.

Is there any specification out yet for DICOM supporting high-res?
Will there be different DICOM formats (vendor-specific) or will that be one format?

Thanks

Martin
