Automated and computer-assisted pathology support for a large chronic study

Pathology support for the 24,192 mouse toxicological ED01 study at the National Center for Toxicological Research was provided by the University of Arkansas Pathology Services Project through a contract between NCTR and the University of Arkansas. To aid in the collection, storage, retrieval, and analysis of this large amount of data an automated computer-assisted pathology system was developed. Use of this system has resulted in accurate data, the ability to handle large amounts of data, and low-cost analysis of the data.
