Automatic section changing system and method for digital pathological section

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic section changing system and method for a digital pathological section, and the method comprises the steps: placing the pathological section in a storage rack, marking the placement position of the pathological section on the storage rack as an initial grabbing position, obtaining the placement position of a pathological section scanner, and marking the placement position as an initial scanning position; judging a first space movement track of the mechanical arm transferred to the initial grabbing position according to the movement starting position of the mechanical arm; enabling the mechanical arm to be transferred to an initial grabbing position according to the first space motion trail to grab the pathological section; according to the initial grabbing position and the initial scanning position, judging a second spatial motion trail of the mechanical arm transferred between the storage rack and the pathological section scanner; transferring to aninitial scanning position according to the second spatial motion trail to scan the pathological section; and transferring the scanned pathological section from the initial scanning position to the initial grabbing position, and marking the scanning state of the pathological section at the initial grabbing position. The automatic section changing system is low in cost, does not need a specially-assigned person for guarding, and improves the work efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of slice processing, in particular to an automatic slice change system and method for digital pathological slices. Background technique [0002] Pathological sections are usually embedded in paraffin blocks, cut into thin slices with a microtome, and then stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H-E). The digital pathological slice scanner can automatically scan pathological slices and generate full-width digital images of pathological slices, which is convenient for pathologists to view pathological images on a computer, and can support remote diagnosis and automatic image processing and analysis based on artificial intelligence. [0003] At present, high-end pathological slide scanners are all designed with built-in automatic slice changing device to realize the automation of scanning, but the mechanical structure is complicated, the scanner is bulky and the price is expensive. When the scanning volume is large an...
