13 Claims

1. A method of determining and displaying an area of interest of a digital microscopic tissue image from a plurality of digital microscopic tissue images, the plurality of digital microscopic tissue images jointly forming a patient-specific image record, the method comprising:

displaying an initial area of interest of a particular one of the plurality of digital microscopic tissue images on a primary screen, positioned in a forward viewing direction for a user sitting at a desk;

accepting touch gestures from the user on a touch-based input device, such as a touch screen or a touch pad, the touch-based input device being positioned substantially horizontally at the desk;

upon receiving a touch gesture from a first class of touch gestures, determining an updated area of interest within the particular one of the plurality of digital microscopic tissue images and displaying the updated area of interest of the particular one of the plurality of digital microscopic tissue images on the primary screen; and

upon receiving a touch gesture from a second class of touch gestures, switching from the particular one of the plurality of digital microscopic tissue images to a different one of the plurality of digital microscopic tissue images and displaying an initial area of interest of said different one of the plurality of digital microscopic tissue images on the primary screen.
