The Digital Tissue and Cell Atlas and the Virtual Microscope

Abstract

With the cooperation of the CI TASK (Center of lnformatics Tri-Citry Academic Supercomputer and network) and the Gdańsk University of Technology, the Medical University of Gdańsk undertook the creation of the Digital Tissue and Cell Atlas and the Virtual Microscope for the needs of the Bridge of Data project. In the beginning, an extensive collection of histological and cytological slides was carefully selected and prepared by pathomorphology experts. After processing and digitising, the specimens were sent to servers of the TRYTON Supercomputer, where storing, searching for and scrolling through the images in the Virtual Microscope was made available. The collection consists of twenty thousand high definition images of human tissues and cells accompanied by structurised clinical metadata. Creating a digital atlas and a virtual microscope is an answer to modern education challenges that shape digital competence and are open to modern technologies. The main idea behind the creation of the information tools and digital image data repositories is using them for the purpose of education and as a basis for the creation of new methods of long-distance education. Those resources are shared under the terms of the open Creative Commons license (CC BY-SA), making it possible for teachers, students, and entrepreneurs to use the images safely and process content included in the presented materials without intellectual property infringement.
