How Can WSI (Whole Slide Imaging) Improve Your Pathology Practice?
FREE PHC Webinar
Wednesday, June 8, 2011
Noon – 1:00 PM Central
Speaker: Kenneth J. Bloom, MD, FCAP
Once digital images are produced from glass slides, sharing of the digital images for a variety of purposes is facilitated, including expert review or consultation in a single multi-site practice setting, between practice groups, and potentially international primary diagnosis or consultation. The use of digital images can improve workflow by eliminating the need to physically distribute glass slides, and by allowing digital images to be distributed to experts at remote locations from the histology laboratory site. Stored digital images can be retrieved more easily than glass slides for previous slide review, clinical interdisciplinary conferences, research and publication. The improved work flow can increase productivity, decrease turn-around times and improve patient care. Digital image analysis software development has the potential to provide methods for quality assurance in slide review and to allow quantitative analysis of immunohistochemical staining intensity and location, and even image comparisons to archived previously diagnosed images. More importantly, unchaining the pathologist from the microscope will open a plethora of slide-based technologies to the pathologist, that will likely transform the practice of pathology and significantly improve patient care. This webinar will discuss the potential clinical application areas for WSI.

March 28-29, 2011 at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center - The NCI Office of Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research (OBBR) invites you to participate in its Annual Biospecimen Research Network Symposium: Advancing Cancer Research Through Biospecimen Science. The agenda for the meeting has now been posted online: http://brnsymposium.com/agenda.asp.
This two-day event will focus on the significant impact of pre-analytical biospecimen variables on cancer research and molecular medicine. Attendees will include leaders in the fields of biospecimen research, genomics, proteomics, oncology, pathology, biobanking, hospital administration and pharmaceutics as well as patient advocates.
Registration closes March 4, 2011, or when capacity is reached. Please note that a live webcast will be available. To register for the webcast, please visit: http://brnsymposium.com/webcast.asp.
Abstract submissions are due by February 21, 2011 (deadline extended). For abstract details, visit: http://brnsymposium.com/abstract.asp.
We are now seeking volunteers to lead “Meet the Experts” tables at the Symposium. These informal events are designed to facilitate networking and learning about different topics in Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research. No formal presentation is expected from table leaders. Interested parties should contact Andrea Kelly (kellya2@mail.nih.gov) with topic ideas.
Individuals with disabilities who need Sign Language Interpreters and/or reasonable accommodation to participate in this symposium should contact Cassie Norman (301-594-3086; normancm@mail.nih.gov) or call the Federal Relay (1-800-877-8339). Requests should be made at least 5 days in advance of the event.
