[en] This paper introduces an open implementation of DICOM for whole-slide microscopic imaging, following Supplement 145 of the DICOM standard. The software is divided into two parts: (a) a command-line tool to convert an whole-slide image to the DICOM format, and (b) a zero-footprint Web interface to display such DICOM images. The software architecture leverages the DICOM server Orthanc. The entire framework is available as free and open-source software. The existence of this software supports the development of digital pathology and telepathology in clinical environments, featuring a smooth integration with existing EHR and PACS solutions.
