A method for standardized packaging of microscopic images

Abstract

The invention provides a processing system for a microscopic image, which is capable of packaging the microscopic image to a common image format to establish a standardized packaging method for a manufacturer-exclusive image format and the common image format. According to the standardized packaging system, the problems of poor compatibility of the common image format, and storage and archiving of the microscopic image can be well solved, and the needed data information and the image data can be packaged based on a DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) standard to facilitate storage, archiving, transmission and sharing of the microscopic image, and microscopic image class software can support reading of the microscopic image data.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a microscopic image processing system, which encapsulates the microscopic image into a general image format, and establishes a standardized packaging method for the manufacturer's exclusive image format and the general image format. This technique belongs to the field of image informatics. Background technique [0002] Microscopic images acquired by various microscopes can be digitized and packaged in various formats for storage and transmission. Although there are many types of medical image storage formats, they are not irrelevant. There is also an international unified standard in the image field. Existing microscopic images must follow this new digital imaging and communication standard. [0003] Common image formats, such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF, etc.; BMP (BitMaP) is a standard image file format in the Windows operating system, and a typical BMP image file consists of four part...

Problems solved by technology

[0012] Existing microscopic image software can view images in common image formats and DICOM formats, but cannot view microscopic images in manufacturer-specific image formats

[0013] Common image formats, such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF, etc., do not contain data information related to image acquisition, such as the name of the sample source, sample number, acquisition time, sample description, responsible person information, manufacturer information, pixel physical distance, objective lens value For data information such as aperture, once images need to be transmitted and shared, an additional explanatory document containing the above information needs to be provided, which brings inconvenience to the operation, and due to the small amount of information, there is not enough information for classification and archiving, so it is not conducive to Image storage and archiving; manufacturer-specific image formats are only applicable to systems of the same manufacturer or a few special software for image transmission and sharing, and cannot be applied to systems of different manufacturers and some general-purpose software

[0014] Due to the increasing demand for microscopic image storage, archiving, transmission and sharing, it is necessary to save data information related to image acquisition. The general image format has good compatibility, but does not contain relevant data information; the manufacturer’s exclusive image format contains relevant data information, but is compatible with poor sex

Hospitals and other user units usually install medical image software, which can view images in general image formats and DICOM formats, but cannot view microscopic images in manufacturer-specific image formats. However, general image formats do not contain relevant data information, and there is no microscopic image Standardized encapsulation method for encapsulation into DICOM format
