We have developed a Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) protocol that acquires image data from an externally mounted digital camera/smartphone on a microscope ocular. We developed a universal adaptor to standardize camera placement with respect to the microscope ocular. An associated smartphone application sends imaging data for our server to algorithmically post-process into an interactive WSI, accessible through our app. Most pathology labs already implement the use of digital scanning machines or already have some form of digital pathology telemedicine consultation solution in place. Digital slide scanning machines can be many thousands of dollars of expenditures and are not yet a cost effective solution for all labs of the world. Moreover, the cost of software integration of imaging data into hospital EMRs can well surpass the overall cost of hardware. Our protocol is unique in that it leverages existing technology to empower any individual with an internet connection with the capacity to rapidly produce WSIs of diagnostic value at virtually no cost. The WSI data obtained through our protocol is accessible to the user through our application. Users can set sharing settings on WSIs to colleagues and professional contacts.
