Original Article:
Validation of whole slide imaging for frozen section diagnosis in surgical pathology
Thomas W Bauer, Renee J Slaw, Jesse K McKenney, Deepa T Patil
J Pathol Inform
2015, 6:49 (31 August 2015)
DOI
:10.4103/2153-3539.163988
PMID
:26430537
Background:
Whole slide imaging (WSI) using high-resolution scanners is gaining acceptance as a platform for consultation as well as for frozen section (FS) evaluation in surgical pathology. We report results of an intra-observer concordance study comparing evaluation of WSI of scanned FS microscope slides with the original interpretation of the same microscope slides after an average lag time of approximately 1-year.
Methods:
A total of 70 FS cases (148 microscope slides) originally interpreted by 2 pathologists were scanned at ×20 using Aperio CS2 scanner (Leica Biosystems, San Diego, CA, USA). Reports were redacted such that the study pathologists reviewed images using eSlide Manager Healthcare Network application (Leica Biosystems) accompanied by the same clinical information available at the time of original FS evaluation. Discrepancies between the original FS diagnosis and WSI diagnosis were categorized as major (impacted patient care) or minor (no impact on patient care).
Results:
Lymph nodes, margins for head and neck cancer resections, and arthroplasty specimens to exclude infection, were the most common FS specimens. The average wash-out interval was 380 days (range: 303–466 days). There was one major discrepancy (1.4% of 70 cases) where the original FS was interpreted as severe squamous dysplasia, and the WSI FS diagnosis was mild dysplasia. There were two minor discrepancies; one where the original FS was called focal moderate squamous dysplasia and WSI FS diagnosis was negative for dysplasia. The second case was an endometrial adenocarcinoma that was originally interpreted as Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Grade I, while the WSI FS diagnosis was FIGO Grade II.
Conclusions:
These findings validate and support the use of WSI to provide interpretation of FS in our network of affiliated hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.

Original Article:
Whole slide image with image analysis of atypical bile duct brushing: Quantitative features predictive of malignancy
Brian T Collins, Cody R Weimholt
J Pathol Inform
2015, 6:47 (31 August 2015)
DOI
:10.4103/2153-3539.163986
PMID
:26430535
Background:
Whole slide images (WSIs) involve digitally capturing glass slides for microscopic computer-based viewing and these are amenable to quantitative image analysis. Bile duct (BD) brushing can show morphologic features that are categorized as indeterminate for malignancy. The study aims to evaluate quantitative morphologic features of atypical categories of BD brushing by WSI analysis for the identification of criteria predictive of malignancy.
Materials and Methods:
Over a 3-year period, BD brush specimens with indeterminate diagnostic categorization (atypical to suspicious) were subjected to WSI analysis. Ten well-visualized groups with morphologic atypical features were selected per case and had the quantitative analysis performed for group area, individual nuclear area, the number of nuclei per group, N: C ratio and nuclear size differential.
Results:
There were 28 cases identified with 17 atypical and 11 suspicious. The average nuclear area was 63.7 µm
2
for atypical and 80.1 µm
2
for suspicious (+difference 16.4 µm
2
;
P
= 0.002). The nuclear size differential was 69.7 µm
2
for atypical and 88.4 µm
2
for suspicious (+difference 18.8 µm
2
;
P
= 0.009). An average nuclear area >70 µm
2
had a 3.2 risk ratio for suspicious categorization.
Conclusion:
The quantitative criteria findings as measured by image analysis on WSI showed that cases categorized as suspicious had more nuclear size pleomorphism (+18.8 µm
2
) and larger nuclei (+16.4 µm
2
) than those categorized as atypical. WSI with morphologic image analysis can demonstrate quantitative statistically significant differences between atypical and suspicious BD brushings and provide objective criteria that support the diagnosis of carcinoma.
