Abstract
The virtual slide has been developed and is a key to innovation in digital pathology. The image quality of digital pathological images is one of the most important issues in the practical use of virtual slides since it greatly affects the accuracy of pathology diagnosis and image analysis. In this paper, we discuss the importance of image quality in digital pathology and an approach to the standardization of digital images by employing image analysis techniques. As a contribution to the standardization of digital pathological images, we introduce a color correction method and an algorithm for image quality assessment.
