Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to image viewers, in particular biomedical images viewers that can concurrently render biomedical images at various magnifications or resolutions. The computing system can identify tiles from a first portion of a biomedical image. Each tile can correspond to a magnification level and coordinates in the biomedical image. The computing system can provide the tiles for concurrent display in respective graphical user interface (GUI) elements. The computing system can detect an interaction with a GUI element. The computing system can identify a change in coordinates for a tile displayed in the GUI element based on the interaction. The computing system can determine a second change in the other concurrently displayed tiles based on the change in coordinates. The computing system can update the concurrent display of the tiles based on the changes.
Core Innovation
A method includes identifying a plurality of tiles from a first portion of a biomedical image derived from a tissue sample on a slide via a histopathological image preparer, where each tile is acquired at one of a plurality of magnification factors and defined by a respective corresponding set of coordinates within a same biomedical image. Each tile is associated with a move or zoom operation via a corresponding graphical user interface (GUI) element and is synchronizable to others of the plurality of tiles simultaneously displayed in corresponding GUI elements.
The method provides the plurality of tiles for concurrent display via a corresponding plurality of GUI elements and detects an interaction with a GUI element from the plurality of GUI elements to modify presentation of one tile. In response to the interaction, the method identifies a first change to a first set of corresponding coordinates defining the one tile and determines a second change to apply to a second set of coordinates defining another of a remainder of the plurality of tiles based on the first change.
The method updates the displaying of the plurality of tiles in the corresponding plurality of GUI elements by applying the first change to the first set of coordinates for the one tile upon which the interaction is detected and the second change to the second set of coordinates for each tile of the remainder. The method thereby propagates coordinate changes originating from interaction with one tile to the coordinate-defined tiles that are concurrently displayed in synchronized GUI elements.
Claims Coverage
Two independent claims are present: one recites a method and the other recites a system. Each independent claim includes the core inventive functionality of synchronizable coordinate-defined multi-magnification tiles displayed concurrently in GUI elements, with coordinate-change propagation driven by a user interaction on one tile to update other tiles.
Synchronized concurrent display of coordinate-defined multi-magnification tiles with GUI interaction
Identifying a plurality of tiles from a first portion of a biomedical image derived from a tissue sample on a slide, where each tile is acquired at one of a plurality of magnification factors and defined by a respective set of coordinates, and where each tile is individually responsive to a move or zoom operation via a corresponding GUI element and synchronizable to others displayed concurrently in corresponding GUI elements.
Coordinate-change propagation across tiles based on a detected GUI interaction
Detecting an interaction with a GUI element to modify presentation of one tile, identifying a first change to coordinates defining the one tile in response to the interaction, determining a second change to apply to coordinate sets defining each of the remainder of the plurality of tiles based on the first change, and updating the display of the plurality of tiles by applying the first change to the one tile and the second change to each of the remainder.
Across the independent method and system claims, the inventive focus is on concurrently displaying synchronizable tiles defined by coordinate sets at multiple magnification factors in corresponding GUI elements, detecting a move/zoom interaction on one tile, and updating all tiles by propagating coordinate changes from the interacted tile to coordinate-defined tiles for synchronized presentation.
