New Digital Pathology Image Portal: The submission of diagnostic, stained pathology tissue slides is an important aspect of many Alliance trials, both for central pathology review and more recently, AI-based imaging correlative studies. We understand that institutions are frequently reluctant to release diagnostic pathology slides for review and are making increasing use of digitized pathology images (aka “whole slide images (WSI)” or “scanned slide images”), which can be transmitted and reviewed in lieu of actual glass slides. In order to facilitate the submission of diagnostic pathology images and decrease the work burden to our clinical sites, on Feb 1, 2024, the Alliance BioMS specimen submission system went live with its Digital Pathology Image (DPI) Portal. The DPI portal is integrated into the BioMS application and allows sites to submit scanned slide images electronically as an alternate to most shipping physical stained, glass slide requirements slides to the biorepositories in Alliance clinical trials.
