Abstract
This disclosure teaches an improved pyramidal file structure and method of use thereof. A pyramidal file structure can comprise a body and a header. The body can comprise a plurality of layers. The layers divided into tiles. Each of the tiles can be capable of comprising a plurality of images. The header can define a layer plan, a tile plan, and an image plan. A method of storing a scan within a pyramidal file structure can comprise defining in a header of a pyramidal file structure a pyramidal data structure. The header can define a layer plan, a tile plan, and an image plan. The method can also comprise storing in each tile of the pyramidal data structure of the pyramidal file structure a plurality of images. The pyramidal data structure can comprise a plurality of layers, each of the layers comprising one or more of the tiles.
