3D visualization has been present in medicine for several decades, just think of the
CT (Computer Tomography) imaging modality, which is capable of creating 3D images
of the examined object by determining the radiation attenuation coefficient. In addition
to CT equipment, there are many solutions capable of collecting and displaying various
3D data (MRI [Magnetic Resonance Imaging], PET [Positron Emission Tomography], OCT
[Optical Computer Tomography]). In digital pathology, 3D visualization is not nearly
as widespread as the previously mentioned solutions. One of the main reasons for this
is the size of the digitized pathological samples and the hardware resources required
for their 3D visualization. In the paper, we present a client-server architecture
that can provide a solution to the existing hardware limitations during the 3D visualization
of digitized pathological samples. In the paper, we present the basic structure of
our solution, several main functionalities, and the testing of the server software
we developed.
