Description

Provides a C library for reading virtual slide images. Digital pathology and imaging applications use it to open very large whole-slide image formats, read metadata, and extract regions for display or analysis.

Use it when software needs to work with microscope slide scans from pathology or research workflows. It is a library for applications, not a standalone medical diagnosis tool.
