Hypertext atlas of dermatopathology with expert system for epithelial tumors of the skin
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Image resolution required for reference histological images is high. Obtaining high-resolution images requires a system, composing large image from individual smaller components. Such systems must thus be capable of automatically taking individual image parts, performing shading compensation and fusion of the image parts into one large image. Distribution of such images over the Internet requires developing a suitable user's interface with access to the image details. METHODS: The ways of creating high-resolution images (virtual slides) and the interface enabling access to image details using Internet browser are described. RESULTS: A collection of about 3200 dermatopathological, mostly histologic images is available at http://www.muni.cz/atlases: Hypertext atlas of dermatopathology. Methods of high-resolution image acquisition were used in digitizing the collection of skin lymphomas (Dermatology Institute, University Hospital, Zurich), which is a part of the atlas. The atlas is continuously maintained and upgraded; the number of contributors is growing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
