Title: Macroscopic Reconstruction for Histopathology Images: A Survey
Abstract: Over the past decade, due to a dramatic increase in diseases, histopathology has become a vital part of medical science. Histopathology involves examining of tissue under a microscope to examine the manifestation of diseases. The term histology deals with the study of entire cells of the sample specimen, whereas histopathology is a technique, which deals with analyzing for microscopic changes or abnormalities in tissues that are caused as a result of diseases. With the computational advancement, tissue histopathology slides can be digitized with the help of whole slide digital scanners. Histopathology is a powerful diagnosis method to analyze the tissue structure. However, the microscopic images generally produce two-dimensional views. With the advent of new computer algorithms, 3D reconstruction from 2D histopathology images is a routine technique. However, the already developed algorithms exhibit distorted image and recur information loss, which is unacceptable for the pathologists. An accurate high-resolution 3D reconstruction for histopathology sections will lead to a better diagnosis. This paper describes the 3D visualization techniques and its applicability in histopathology.
