Aperio ScanScope microscopes save images in the SVS file format. SVS files are based on the TIFF format. The first image saved is the full resolution baseline image, always tiled, typically with 240×240 pixel tiles. The second image is a 1024×768 thumbnail. Additional pyramid images at various resolutions may follow.
SVS files are used to archive and analyze Aperio microscope images. They contain a series of TIFF images. The ImageDescription tag starts with “Aperio”. SVS files have custom tags making them proprietary. Early SVS files used standard TIFF tags, allowing TIFF readers to decode images while skipping vendor tags.
Analyzing SVS digital slides with Aperio algorithms provides benefits like increased productivity through task automation and improved healthcare by examining slide staining patterns. The process of analyzing images begins with the digital slide, a scanned image of a glass slide.
