Overview
SimpleSlideInterface DX (Integration) is a high-level image access interface designed to enhance openness and interoperability of Pannoramic Solutions. It enables third-party developers and integrators to connect applications to SlideStorage DX and CaseManager DX for efficient, controlled access to slide image data while protecting sensitive patient information. Deployable as a microservice on a local machine or hosted on a dedicated server, it serves clients using slides from shared network folders or SlideStorage DX, offering flexible deployment for diverse technical environments.

Key features

• Comprehensive slide access: seamless connection with SlideStorage DX for slide management and folder content queries.
• Advanced slide handling: open local and remote slides, read slide properties (dimensions, resolutions, channels), extract tile images by coordinates or indices.
• Enhanced image analysis: access preview, label, thumbnail and scanmap images and read original Field of View (FOV) details.
• Annotation management: read, delete and insert annotations using GeoJSON format; integrated marker-counter readout.
• Developer-friendly API: extensive documentation with Python examples and Jupyter Notebooks for rapid integration.

Features of Product Variants

• SlideStorage DX access: available variants and license dependencies (Read Only requires license (2); Read+Write requires license (3)).
• Capabilities when connected to SlideStorage DX: folder queries, slide property reading, tile extraction, access to generic images (thumbnails, labels, scanmaps), marker-counter reading, annotation read/write, folder and slide search, access to original camera FOV data (requires license (4)).

Installation & License Options

• Installation via the SimpleSlideStorage DX Installer.
• Unrestricted Local Mode: removes local-access restrictions (license-bound).
• SlideStorage DX read access: read-only access to SlideStorage DX (license required).
• SlideStorage DX read/write access: read and write access to SlideStorage DX (license required).
• Original Field of View access: specific license required to access original, uncompensated camera FOV data.

System requirements

• Hardware (minimum): 4-core CPU with AVX2 support (Intel 4th Gen Haswell or AMD Zen), 4 GB RAM.
• Operating System (minimum): Microsoft Windows 10 Professional 64-bit or Microsoft Windows Server 2019 64-bit.
• Disk space: 1.0 GB.
• Per-slide CPU usage: ~8 slides per CPU thread; CPU load increases with concurrent clients/threads (e.g., image encoding/decoding).
• Per-slide RAM usage: ~100 MB per opened slide; memory grows with caching of image and attribute data.

Network Bandwidth

• Minimum: 1 Gb/s.
• Recommended: 10 Gb/s.
• High bandwidth is essential for fast performance when slides are stored on SlideStorage DX or when SimpleSlideInterface is hosted on a separate machine.

Notes

• Available variants: researcher and integration; from version 1.1 some functions are license-dependent.
• Designed for software integrators and system developers (not intended for end users).
• All functionalities may require specific licenses.
• Embedding into other systems requires prior written permission from 3DHISTECH.
• Can be deployed as a microservice or hosted in IIS with vendor support.
