Current Status of Whole Slide Image (WSI) Standardization in Japan
1International University of Health and Welfare, Narita, Chiba, Japan.
Abstract:
A whole slide image (WSI) is a digitized microscopic image that is particularly useful in histochemistry and cytochemistry. Several WSI scanners have been introduced in Japan and all use their own native format. Thus, there is basically no interchangeability. However, the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard format for WSI has been available since 2010. In this review, the configuration and differences among the native WSI and DICOM formats are examined, and the advantages and issues of DICOM standardization are discussed.

01:26Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
