Standards based Data Exchange between Digital Pathology and Biospecimen Management Systems
Whole Slide Images(WSI)are high quality digital images obtained from scanning biospecimen slides using digital pathology systems.It is evident from the literature that there is great value in linking these digital images and their metadata with available biospecimens data,in order to enhance collaboration and quality assurance studies.However,linking WSI and biospecimens is complex and relies heavily on biobank settings and business processes in place.This paper describes a new approach of visualizing WSI data in biobank Laboratory Information Management Systems(LIMS).It also describes methods and challenges faced in developing this approach as well as explaining the user workflows,architecture and interoperability standards used.The results of this study suggest that the current interoperability standards in biobanking and digital pathology prevent the development of a standard,common integration profile between biobanks and microscopy units.There is a need to develop standard workflow processes and standard operating procedures for storing biospecimens and associated imaging data.To support future developments,we propose the establishment of a common data element framework that can support a scalable opensource and vendor-neutral WSI repository with associated biospecimen data.
