3 Scanning technology TUCSON, Ariz., March 31, 2011 / Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., a member of the Roche Group, announced today the availability of its next generation Virtuoso digital pathology application software.

4 Scanning technology ImageXpress Micro Widefield High Content Screening System Label-free phase contrast imaging is enabled with the transmitted light Overlay of phase contrast and fluorescence images

5 Links with International Partners Michal Guindy. She is the chief responsible for the implementation of the Telepathology system for the Maccabi Health Services ( Prof. Tibor Mezei, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Targu Mures (Romania) They are looking for funds and partners to participate in a telepathology international network

6 Virtual slides repository

7 Virtual slides repository virtual slides with diagnosis (anonymous) from HGUCR, Spain will be soon available for free Selection of virtual slides From a proprietary web viewer (Flash based, from Aperio) to a universal viewer, including DICOM, (java based, from Aurora) Distributed database

8 Implementation of SNOMED CT Anatomic Pathology supplement (and supporting appendix) published for Trial Implementation The IHE Anatomic Pathology Technical Committee has published the following supplement (and supporting appendix) to the IHE Anatomic Pathology Technical Framework for Trial Implementation: Anatomic Pathology Structured Reports (APSR) APSR Value Sets Appendix This profile will be available for testing at subsequent IHE Connectathons. The documents are available for download at Comments should be submitted to the online forums at

9 Implementation of SNOMED CT IHE Anatomic Pathology Technical Framework Supplement Anatomic Pathology Structured Reports (APSR) Closed Issues: APSR-14 Gaps in SNOMED CT: It is not straightforward to encode Anatomic Pathology observations and AP ancillary technique observations and their corresponding value sets 360 described in Volume IV (Value Sets for APSR) using SNOMED CT concepts (missing concepts, issues of postcoordination versus precoordination). Therefore these observations and value sets are encoded using a coding system currently being built by the IHE Anatomic Pathology domain (PathLex - OID: ). PathLex codes are provided with the Trial Implementation version of this profile. The 365 terms and expressions of PathLex are being currently mapped to SNOMED CT concepts in collaboration with IHTSDO. Part of this mapping are available in the Trial Implementation version and completed over time. Using SNOMED CT as a reference terminology offers promising perspectives

10 Implementation of SNOMED CT IHE: Structured Reports Value Sets (1,840 possible values for observations) HGUCR: 3,000 pathology diagnosis codes mapped to SNOMED CT Postcoordination needed in 12% (3 conceptid needed only rarely)

11 Implementation of SNOMED CT Hierarchies of precoordinated terms Morphology Abnormal body structure Only 44% of the codes! Clinical findings 46% of the codes Qualifiers, normal anatomic structures,, procedures, physical object, substance, organism 10% of the codes

12 Implementation of SNOMED CT Coherent Updates Pathology Information system Subset (local descriptions)
