Development and Demonstration of a Networked Telepathology 3-D Imaging, Databasing, and Communication System

摘要

Final project results and recommendations for future DoD research relating to digital pathology systems for military purposes are given in this report. following areas were addressed: (1) 2-D and 3-D Virtual Slide (VS) systems for pathology applications; (2) Evaluation and testing of workstations and operating systems for digital pathology applications (DP); (3) Testing and demonstration of networking and internet technologies for Digital pathology and telepathology (TP) purposes; (4) Evaluation, specification and testing of an appropriate Object-Oriented Database Management System (OODMS) for DP and TP purposes; (5) Evaluation, testing, and recommendation of a hierarchical storage management system (HSM) for DP image recovery for local and TP referral basis; (6) Integration of National Library of Medicine (NLM) medical language resources (e.g., UMLS and SNOMED) to pathology image files to enable content-based retrieval; (7) Commercial partnership considerations in DP and TP; and (8) Final recommendations.
