PySlyde 0.1.0

A Python package for preprocessing pathology whole slide images.

PySlide

PySlide is a comprehensive Python package for preprocessing pathology whole slide images (WSIs). Built as a wrapper around OpenSlide, it provides powerful, user-friendly functionality for working with high-resolution pathology images, making it ideal for researchers and data scientists in the medical imaging domain.

Features

• WSI Handling: Supports large pathology slides and other WSI formats via OpenSlide.
• Efficient Preprocessing: Streamline tasks like cropping, resizing, and filtering at high performance.
• Annotation Support: Easily integrate and visualize annotations.
• Tiling and Patching: Flexible tiling options for patch extraction, ideal for deep learning workflows.
• Image Metadata Extraction: Retrieve and manage metadata from WSIs.

Installation

Install PySlide via PyPI:

pip install PySlide

Quick Start

from pyslide import SlideProcessor

# Initialize the processor with your WSI file
processor = SlideProcessor("path/to/your/slide.svs")

# Example: Extract a tile
tile = processor.get_tile(x=1000, y=2000, width=256, height=256)

# Example: Preprocess a slide
processed_slide = processor.preprocess_slide(parameters)
