Imager Duo Operator’s Manual
FOV
Field of View. A circular area of the slide, as viewed through the microscope.
The CT is responsible for looking at the entire field while reviewing slides.
IPC
Image Processor Controller. The computer that interacts with the Imaging Sta-
tion in order to image the slides.
IS
Imaging Station. Stores and monitors slide cassettes and slide processing. The
slides are imaged at the IS. Slide data is communicated to and retrieved from
the Server once imaging has successfully occurred.
OCR
Optical Character Recognition. The Image Processor and the Review Scope each
contain an Optical Character Recognition camera that reads a slide label ID and
matches it against patient ID’s already stored in the Server database.
OOI
Object of Interest. An object of interest is a blob that has passed filtering (which
removes normal cells and recognized artifacts) and undergone algorithmic rat-
ing. An object of interest may be a single cell or a cluster.
Power Cycle
Turning the Imager Duo off and then on again, usually to clear an error condi-
tion. Refer to Shutting Down the System in Chapter 3 before turning off power
to any of the components.
RS
Review Scope.
Slide Data
Record
The data associated with a specific accession ID/slide. The data is stored on the
Server database. It is generated at the time a slide ID is successfully scanned in
the Imaging Station prior to imaging. The data record is updated when the slide
has been imaged and image analysis completed and again when the slide has
completed automated review at the RS.
Slide Processing
Event Log
Slide events during processing are displayed on the right hand side of the user
interface. There is a brief description of the kind of error in red text, followed by
the event number, cassette number, slot number, date, time and slide ID, if
known. Only events pertaining to the current batch are listed.
