Digital Slide Archive

The Digital Slide Archive (DSA) is an open-source platform for centralized data management, sharing, annotating, and analyzing whole-slide imaging datasets. Developed in collaboration with Kitware, the DSA consists of an image analysis toolkit (HistomicsTK), an interface to visualize slides and manage annotations (HistomicsUI), a database layer (using Mongo), and a web-server that provides a rich API and data management tools. DSA can serve image datasets from local file systems or S3, and is containerized to simplify on premises or EC2 cloud deployments.
