WSI DeID Build Status License

This tool builds on the Digital Slide Archive, HistomicsUI, and Girder to provide controls and workflows for redacting PHI/PII from whole slide images (WSI). Initially, this works with Aperio, Hamamatsu (ndpi), and Philips WSI files. It can work with Philips iSyntax files if provided with the appropriate SDK.

Developed by Kitware, Inc. with funding from The National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health.

Browser Support

WSI DeID works best using a recent version of the Chrome or Firefox browser.
