Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-precision cruise positioning of pathological images, and more specifically, to an automatic cruise positioning navigation system and method for pathological images. Background Art

[0002] At this stage, pathology has entered the digital age. Whole-slice pathology images (WSI) are the foundation of digital pathology. High-quality pathology images provide convenient conditions for pathology AI diagnosis, remote consultation, pathology data sharing, teaching, and many other aspects. When displaying high-resolution images of pathology information, the large size of a single image will place a heavy burden on computer performance. Currently, there are many means of rendering pathology images, using different technology stacks, and the implementation of navigation maps is also different. Many digital pathology rendering methods choose image technology based on OpenSeadragon, and the navigation bar has a single capability. As the slices are scaled and moved, it is impossible to globally or instantly determine which part of the pathology slice image the pathology information in the current visible window comes from, and it is impossible to locate the center of the navigation display area, or the area diverges too much, which may cause the pathologist's heart to be upset. The intellectual burden is that when browsing digital pathology images, there is a certain consumption feeling in terms of experience and applicability, which hinders the promotion of digital pathology images. At present, the existing digital browsing of pathology images still relies on traditional local zooming to predict the location in advance. Its main disadvantages include: for the zoomed digital pathology image, the doctor cannot intuitively obtain which part of the slice the lesion comes from; in order to determine the exact location of the lesion, it is necessary to switch the zoom mode, which adds unnecessary mental burden to the diagnostic doctor; compared with doctors with less diagnostic experience, there is a lack of timely information reference, which inevitably leads to misdiagnosis; there is no navigation map to automatically track and locate, and digital pathology images have to be manually operated to judge, resulting in low diagnostic review efficiency and increased time for repeated verification; therefore, it is necessary to propose an automatic cruise positioning navigation system for pathology images to at least partially solve the problems existing in the existing technology.
