Abstract
A digital microscope slide image tiling server 16 divides digital microscope slide image 24 into tiles 28. Each tile 28 is labeled with a magnification level and a location relative to the digital microscope slide image 24 that each tile 28 originated. A communications device 20 receives a pathologist selection 40 that designates a portion of a specimen to view at a different magnification. The communications device 20 provides the magnification level and location 44 to the digital microscope slide image tiling server 16. The digital microscope slide image tiling server 16 provides the tiles 38 labeled with the magnification level and location provided by the pathologist selection 40 to the communications device 20. The communications device 20 correlates the coordinate set associated with each tile 38 to the viewer interface of the communications device 20. The communications device 20 displays the tiles 38 via the viewer interface.
