Use case 3: Biobank
– Show-case for patients and samples.
– Facilitates patient selection for studies.
– Permanent record of cases allows retrospective validation of studies.

Biobank problems
• Without digital histopathology: • With digital histopathology:
I’m looking for breast tumor tissue
Does the sample contain cancer cells
Is it in situ or invasive?
Is it hormone-responsive?

Is it hormone-responsive?
Sure; glad to help
Just trust us
Just trust us
We don’t have that information
Sure; glad to help
Have a look at the HE
Have a look at the HE and the immunostains (p63 – calponine)
Have a look at the immunostains and the fluo
data (FISH)
Fidelity increases, confident about requests, investments pay off

The future: Hospital and clinical
• Ongoing evaluation of scanner equipment– Currently 3DHistech on site
• Case presentation– “Easy” cases for medical school students (rotations)– Special cases (multidisciplinary oncology consults)– Residents in the pathology department
• Collection hosting– Historical (restrospective) collections
• Students, residents, hospital staff members (don’t need to be pathologists!)– Thesis support: collect data, evaluate
• in a uniform, centralized manner• Fielt study
– 200 cases, to be evaluated by different pathologists for tumor infiltrating immune cells, tumor cell %, PDL1 IHC staining evaluation in tumor and micro-environment

The future: image analysis
Step 1: find tissue
Step 2: locate the islets
Step 3: quantitate insulin

The future: intelligent querying
I’m looking for pancreatic tissue from a patient with
recent onset diabetes and a susceptible HLA-DQ
genotype. At least y% of the islets still have to contain
insulin-producing cells
