cornish / anonymize-slide-python3-gui

Delete the label image to deidentify a whole-slide image (WSI) with an optional GUI

anonymize-slide-python3-gui

This adds a very simple GUI interface to Benjamin Gilbert's anonymize-slide program which I previously updated to run under python3. The CLI functions still work as before (see usage examples below), however if no CLI arguments are supplied, the GUI is launched.

Please note that the updated python3 code has not been tested with MRXS files

This is a program to remove the slide label from whole-slide images in the following formats:

• Aperio SVS
• Hamamatsu NDPI
• 3DHISTECH MRXS

Slide files are modified in place, making this program both fast and potentially destructive. Do not run it on your only copy of a slide.

Download

Examples

Launch the GUI (supply no arguments):

anonymize-slide-gui.py

Delete the label from slide.mrxs:

anonymize-slide-gui.py slide.mrxs

Delete the label from all NDPI files in the current directory:

anonymize-slide-gui.py *.ndpi

Requirements

• Python 3.0+

Development Roadmap

1. Replace the simple messagebox-based GUI with a proper GUI
2. Possibly refactor the project and merge with the non-GUI version
