François Macary, GMSIH
This Working Group initiated a new project entitled “Anatomic Pathology Specimen
Tracking” with the purpose of reconciling reports returned by different labs and
institutions produced on sub-specimens proceeding from a common specimen
ancestor, or on specimens transferred from one institution to another and re-identified
by each fulfiller. Since the messages used are 2.x, it is likely that this
project will end up with a solution based on parent/child specimens IDs carried
in the SPM segment (available as of HL7 2.5).
It seems to me that this use case
and its solution will also benefit to the future developments of our IHE
Anatomic Pathology Technical Framework, which is available to everybody here:
http://www.ihe.net/Technical_Framework/index.cfm#pathology
For information, I also mentioned the CDA laboratory report built in the LAB
domain of IHE, and described in Volume 3 of this domain, available here:

Call for participation:
A new project has began in HL7 to
standardize the electronic surgical pathology report in HL7 CDA with special
attention to inclusion of structured data about specimens and CAP protocols and
their "synoptic" data elements.
There is a sizable group of interested people and a demand and feasibility for
this type of standard in HL7 is widely accepted. This means it is time to charge
ahead.

Working with virtual slides: DICOM-3 as a standard in pathology images
Marcial García Rojo, Javier García
Muñoz*, Carlos Royo Sánchez*, Manuel Carbajo Vicente
Complejo Hospitalario de Ciudad Real
* Technology Area of the Castilla-La Mancha Health Service
(SESCAM).
Aims: We have evaluated four commercial solutions and prototypes of virtual slides in order to integrate pathology images in the Picture Archiving and Communicating System (PACS) that SESCAM (Health Service in Castilla La Mancha, Spain) is implementing in every hospital of our region.
Methods: Four systems have been evaluated until now by direct observation (Bacus BLISS, Nikon Coolscope with EclipseNet Virtual Slide) and specifications and files received from the manufacturer (Aperio ScanScope, LifeSpan BioSciences)
Results: All evaluated systems were able to generate JPEG or JPEG 2000 standard files. The virtual slides in those formats can be dicomized to be stored in the hospital PACS system and are also be accessible from any medical workstation with standard DICOM viewer.
Conclusions: The most comfortable format for large volumes of virtual slides is JPEG 2000, that allow for a significant reduction of the amount of space necessary for each slide and it also permits an easy integration with PACS.
We are also integrated these standard images with the platform of the 7th Spanish-American Virtual Congress of Pathology, to be held in 2005.
