Description of the webinar

All open-source tools adhere to the Unix mentality of doing one thing and doing it well. Combined they form the “Pathological Suite”.



During the webinar, we will dive into each individual tool, explore its use cases and potential for future improvements.



- paquo: A tool designed to make QuPath projects accessible from Python

- tiffslide: An alternative to the commonly used openslide python library, with a focus on performance and cloud native whole slide image access

- pado: A dataset library for managing whole slide image datasets together with their metadata and annotation data in a cloud native manner

- pavo: A visualization tool backed by pado, which allows to inspect digital pathology datasets and easily prototype new visualizations



The webinar will also dive into the benefits of open-source collaboration, and give some recommendations on developing in public and provide examples of community interactions.

Registration is free of charge for the Bigpicture community.
