Method For Quantitative Video-Microscopy And Associated System And Computer Software Program Product

View page
US Patent:
20030091221, May 15, 2003
Filed:
Sep 19, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/957446
Inventors:
Raphael Marcelpoil - Grenoble, FR
Thomas Gahm - Burlington NC, US
Assignee:
Tripath Imaging, Inc.
International Classification:
G06K009/00
US Classification:
382/128000
Abstract:
A method of determining an amount of at least one molecular specie comprising a sample is provided, each molecular specie being indicated by a dye. The amount of the molecular specie is determined from an image of the sample captured as image data by a color image acquisition device in a video-microscopy system. An optical density of the sample is first determined in each of a red, green, and blue channel at a particular pixel in the image. A corresponding optical density matrix is thereafter formed for that pixel. The optical density matrix is then multiplied by the inverse of a relative absorption coefficient matrix so as to form a resultant matrix for the pixel. The relative absorption coefficient matrix comprises a relative absorption coefficient for each dye, independently of the sample, in each of the red, green, and blue channels. The resultant matrix thus comprises the amount of each molecular specie, as indicated by the respective dye, for that pixel. Associated systems and computer software program products are also provided.

Video Microscopy System And Multi-View Virtual Slide Viewer Capable Of Simultaneously Acquiring And Displaying Various Digital Views Of An Area Of Interest Located On A Microscopic Slide

US Patent:
20030210262, Nov 13, 2003
Filed:
May 10, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/143735
Inventors:
Thomas Gahm - Elon NC, US
Rainer Dorrer - Mullheim-Vogisheim, DE
Joachim Schmid - Chapel Hill NC, US
Assignee:
TriPath Imaging, Inc.
International Classification:
G09G005/00
US Classification:
345/732000
Abstract:
The present invention provides a slide viewer capable of simultaneous display of more than one scan of an area of interest of a slide. The slide viewer includes a database containing at least two data files representing different scans for a same area of interest on one or multiple correlated slides or at least two different digital presentations of the same scan. The scans are views of different illumination and/or of different contrast. Associated with the database are a processor and a display. The processor retrieves data files representing different scans of the same of area of interest and displays them on the display. The present invention allows a user to simultaneously view scans of the same area of interest, where the scans are of views different from each other by either illumination and/or contrast or by the digital information content presented, and/or by the information acquired from multiple correlated slides.

Microscopy System Having Automatic And Interactive Modes For Forming A Magnified Mosaic Image And Associated Method

US Patent:
20060133657, Jun 22, 2006
Filed:
Aug 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/204954
Inventors:
Joachim Schmid - Windsor, CA
Thomas Gahm - Elon NC, US
Kevin Kooy - Graham NC, US
Rainer Dorrer - Mullheim-Vogisheim, DE
Bruno Krief - Toulouse, FR
John Cheeseman - Mebane NC, US
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382128000
Abstract:
A scanning device for biological slides is provided, which can be operated in an interactive routine mode as well as in an unsupervised high speed automatic mode. In the first case, typical components, which the pathologist is used to operating manually, such as the microscope, the stage and the focus, and which have to be motorized for the automatic unsupervised system mode, are configured to simulate manual use, operation, and response. A non-interlaced area scan camera supports the interactive selection and acquisition of individual images in the manual mode, as well as the continuous high-speed scan motion for the rare event detection and virtual slide scan applications of the system. Due to the particular requirements to accommodate both operational modes, methods are described for constructing the virtual slide out of image tiles with varying overlap areas in the x- and y-directions.

Video Microscopy System And Multi-View Virtual Slide Viewer Capable Of Simultaneously Acquiring And Displaying Various Digital Views Of An Area Of Interest Located On A Microscopic Slide

US Patent:
20090006969, Jan 1, 2009
Filed:
Jun 25, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/146047
Inventors:
Thomas Gahm - Elon NC, US
Rainer Dorrer - Mullheim-Vogisheim, DE
Joachim Schmid - Chapel Hill NC, US
Ryan Williams - Carrboro NC, US
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
G06F 3/00
US Classification:
715732
Abstract:
A slide viewer capable of simultaneous display of more than one representation of an area of interest of a slide is provided. The slide viewer includes a database containing at least two data files representing different representations for a same area of interest on one or multiple correlated slides or at least two different digital presentations of the same representation. The representations are views of different illumination and/or of different contrast. Associated with the database are a processor and a display. The processor retrieves data files representing different representations of the same of area of interest and displays them on the display. A user is allowed to simultaneously view representations of the same area of interest, where the representations are of views different from each other by either illumination and/or contrast or by the digital information content presented, and/or by the information acquired from multiple correlated slides.
