Interface for slide owners

If you have interesting histology / pathology slides, slide-atlas can help you share them with audience of your choice over the web. Following tutorial enlists the steps assumes that you have already scanned the images.

Determine the login

• Users need to register using their offical email
• TODO: Alternatively accounts for important users can be created by site administrators
• User accounts have a field for corresponding “5alphabet” code for the Philips scanner at bidmc, so your slides will be automatically transferred to slide-atas as they are ready.

New users / Session administrators

• Normal users will see atleast one session in one database Name + Images (can we directly take the user there ?)
• Users can create a session
• Users can upload file in the attachment
• If the file has a valid extension, it will be automatically processed and can be shared

Philips scanner content providers

• Will automatically see their session in philips database
• So they can refer to those images

Note

If the user from above two categories graduates then site administrator will provide more access. Until then all share same database.

DB administrators

• Have a database to manage, can create new sessions
• See only one database (or others if have access)
• Useful for keeping their images together and organized

Images coming from philips are put in single database in multiple sessions based on the id’s of users
