  4. Action participants (including WG experts) We are open to new participants

  5. Use of COST instruments

  6. Scientific context and objectives (1/2) Background / Problem statement:Adequate technological framework for the management of multimedia electronic healthcare records Informatics applied to Anatomic Pathology Research on standards to represent, interpret, browse, retrieve digital medical images World wide search engine Collaborate with Standardisation bodies with previous research conclusions. Main challenges are educational, technological, and complexity of health information systems. Brief reminder of MoU objectives: Evaluate and validate the common technological framework and communication standards required to access, transmit and manage digital medical records by pathologists and other medical specialties in a networked environment.

  7. Scientific context and objectives (2/2) Research directions: Model for pathology and other hospital information systems Automation procedures in Pathology. Best technology available and under research. Scanning solutions for Pathology microscopic slides. Technological solutions for compression and storage problems with large image files. Virtual slide standard viewer specifications which allow efficient reviewing of pathology images. International standards (DICOM, HL7, SNOMED, CEN) and IHE initiative. An European-scope telepathology network Collection of interesting and typical samples, and clinico-pathological sessions

  8. Working groups

  9. 2008: IHE workflow proposals can help increasing productivity and automation procedures Analysis of Scanning solutions has become useful Pathology DICOM object model has been published JPEG is aware of compression and storage in Pathology 2009:Process modelling and hospital information systems IHE: Anatomic Pathology Reporting to Public Health Repositories Image analysis of immunohistochemical quantification has been evaluated Nanotechnology and multispectral imaging can play a role Results vs. Objectives

  10. Significant highlights (1/2) 9th European Congress on Telepathology and 3rd International Congress on Virtual Microscopy 200 experts (35 countries) and all microscope brands 5 COST related joint research papers were presented. A total of 16 keynote lectures, 76 papers, 15 posters, 2 satellite symposia, and 2 short training courses (IHE and virtual slides) Proceedings published in BioMed Central (PubMed) A STSM was arranged during this congress EURO-TELEPATH is already know by international standardization bodies (DICOM, IHE pathology groups). A joint meeting DICOM-IHE- EURO-TELEPATH has been arranged. May, 2008

  11. Significant highlights (2/2) Workshop on “Quantitative immunohistochemistry in digital pathology” IT engineers, bioinformaticians, biologists, oncologists, pathologists Consensus as obtained on standardization of immuno-histochemistry to improve quality and the current status of quantitative image analysis in immunohistochemistry. The collaborative study on breast carcinoma HER2/neu and hormonal receptors is a main output of this meeting. The draft of an EC RTD Framework project proposal was presented

  12. STSM. Foster young scientists participation, Training school on image analysis using open source software. Next critical phases should include: Complete business modeling of pathology processes using most suitable notation Terminology: SNOMED CT for Anatomic Pathology Interfacing whole slide imaging platforms and image automatic analysis Postprocessing integration of radiology technical framework (DICOM) Challenges
