Barco wins SPIE Medical Imaging conference award

Posted on Wednesday, February 15, 2017

SPIE award

At this week’s SPIE Medical Imaging conference, Barco was honored with a Cum Laude Poster Award for its paper on “Panning Artifacts in Digital Pathology Images.”

The award was conferred to Ali Avanaki, Senior Research Engineer for Healthcare at Barco, who presented the study at SPIE. Other authors on the paper were Tom Kimpe, Kathryn Espig, and Albert Xthona of Barco and Christian Lanciault of Oregon Health and Science University.

The poster presentation “Panning Artifacts in Digital Pathology Images” represents a study on digital pathology whole slide imaging (WSI), which focuses on the technique whereby pathologists need to pan from one region of a very large image to another. The presentation was held February 13, 5:30 – 7:00 pm.

This panning introduces artifacts and presents challenges to the workflow. This ongoing research study by Barco utilizes its VCT (Virtual Clinical Trial) platform – a sophisticated, well-validated tool incorporating image acquisition, processing, reconstruction, display and the human visual and perceptual systems – to characterize visual tasks and the impact of visual artifacts while panning pathology images
