Interactive Multiple Gene Expression Map System
First Claim
1. A method of providing to remote users a quantitative analysis of image data comprising:
- providing an image database that is accessible remotely by a remote user, wherein said image database comprises a plurality of non-compressed images of treated tissue sections from an anatomical location;
presenting to said remote user an option of selecting an image or images from a selection of low-resolution images pertaining to a specific geometric perspective of said anatomical location;
displaying to said remote user a compressed image corresponding to a low-resolution image selected by said remote user;
presenting to said remote user the option of selecting a region of interest in said compressed image selected by said remote user;
calculating pixel value statistics of said region of interest; and
providing to said remote user said pixel value statistics.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system and method for providing remotely accessible gene expression image data. The system and method allows for increased accuracy and semi-quantitative or fully quantitative data from images by enabling the remote user to select regions of interest on a compressed image, and then conducting quantitative analysis on original images at a central location. The subject invention relates to, in one embodiment, an BVIGEM (Interactive Multiple Gene Expression Maps) system: which provides internet based software tools for the extraction of functional information from gene expression images and also to act as a repository for gene expression image data.

9. An interactive gene expression map viewing and processing system comprising:
-
a database comprising a plurality of non-compressed images of treated tissue sections; a processor, and a computer program product comprising a computer readable first program module for causing said processor to display to a remote user a selection of low-resolution images of said plurality of non-compressed images; a computer readable second program module for causing said processor to present to said remote user an option to select at least one of said selection of low-resolution images; a computer readable third program module for causing said processor to display to said remote user a compressed image corresponding to a low-resolution image selected by said remote user; a computer readable fourth program code module for causing said processor to present an option of selecting a region of interest of said compressed image selected by said remote user; a computer readable fifth program code module for causing said processor to calculate pixel value statistics of said region of interest using a non-compressed image; and a computer readable sixth program code module for causing said processor to provide to said remote user said pixel value statistics. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
