Loading Images
==============
Individual Images
-----------------
The first step in any computational pathology workflow is to load the image from disk.
In ``PathML`` this can be done in one line:
.. code-block::
wsi = HESlide("../data/CMU-1.svs", name = "example")
Datasets of Images
------------------
Using "in-house" datasets from the local filesystem is also supported.
Simply initialize a :class:`~pathml.core.slide_dataset.SlideDataset` object by passing a list of
individual :class:`~pathml.core.slide_dataset.SlideData` objects:
.. code-block::
from pathlib import Path
from pathml.core import HESlide, SlideDataset
# assuming that all WSIs are in a single directory, all with .svs file extension
data_dir = Path("/path/to/data/")
wsi_paths = list(data_dir.glob("*.svs"))
# create a list of SlideData objects by loading each path
wsi_list = [HESlide(p) for p in wsi_paths]
# initialize a SlideDataset
dataset = SlideDataset(wsi_list)
Supported slide types
---------------------
All slides are represented as :class:`~pathml.core.SlideData` objects.
We provide several convenience classes for loading common types of slides:
.. list-table:: Slide Classes
:widths: 20 60
:header-rows: 1
* - Slide Class
- Description
* - :class:`~pathml.core.HESlide`
- H&E stained images.
* - :class:`~pathml.core.IHCSlide`
- IHC stained images
* - :class:`~pathml.core.MultiparametricSlide`
- Generic multidimensional, multichannel, time-series images (e.g. multiplexed immunofluorescence).
* - :class:`~pathml.core.VectraSlide`
- Multiplex images from Vectra platform.
* - :class:`~pathml.core.CODEXSlide`
- Multiplex images from CODEX platform.
It is also possible to load a slide by using the generic :class:`~pathml.core.slide_data.SlideData` class and specifying
explicitly the slide_type and which backend to use (refer to table below):
.. code-block::
wsi = SlideData("../data/CMU-1.svs", name = "example", slide_backend = "openslide", slide_type = types.HE)
For more information on specifying ``slide_type``, see full documentation at :class:`~pathml.core.SlideType`
Supported file formats
----------------------
Whole-slide images can come in a variety of file formats, depending on the type of image and the scanner used.
``PathML`` has several backends for loading images, enabling support for a wide variety of data formats.
All backends use the same API for interfacing with other parts of ``PathML``. Choose the appropriate backend
for the file format:
.. list-table:: PathML Backends
