JPEG2000 Virtual Slide microscope

This website presents our research group's work in the field of digital pathology and virtual microscopy. Our group has developed JPEG2000-based software consisting of image compression, viewing, and network server applications, all suited for the needs of virtual microscopy. We have also released software for linking virtual slides with the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard. Our latest research projects describe web applications (ImmunoRatio and ImmunoMembrane) for the automated image analysis of ER, PR, Ki-67, and HER2 immunostained breast cancer slides.

All our software is freely downloadable and usable, and can be tested using the virtual slide examples located in our public servers.
