Systems and methods for processing digital images to adapt to color vision deficiency

A system for processing electronic digital medical images, the system comprising:

• at least one memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
• receiving one or more of medical images of at least one pathology specimen, the pathology specimen being associated with a subject, wherein the one or more medical images are stained histology images;
• receiving a stain type associated with the one or more medical images;
• identifying a color vision deficiency for one or more users from a plurality of color vision deficiencies;
• identifying a pixel transformation for the one or more medical images based on the stain type and color vision deficiency of the one or more users;
• applying a pixel transformation to each pixel within the one or more medical images, wherein applying the pixel transformation includes:
• applying the pixel transformation for each pixel of the one or more medical images based on an identified look-up table from a plurality of look-up tables, wherein the identified look-up table is determined based on the stain type and color deficiency of the one or more users;
• or
• applying the pixel transformation for each pixel of the one or more medical images to convert the one or more medical images to an alternate color space, wherein the alternate color space is determined based on the stain type and color deficiency of the one or more users;
• and
• displaying the transformed one or more medical images to the one or more users.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform operations processing electronic digital medical images, the operations comprising:

• receiving one or more of medical images of at least one pathology specimen, the pathology specimen being associated with a subject, wherein the one or more medical images are stained histology images;
• receiving a stain type associated with the one or more medical images;
• identifying a color vision deficiency for one or more users from a plurality of color vision deficiencies;
• identifying a pixel transformation for the one or more medical images based on the stain type and color vision deficiency of the one or more users;
• applying a pixel transformation to each pixel within the one or more medical images, wherein applying the pixel transformation includes:
• applying the pixel transformation for each pixel of the one or more medical images based on an identified look-up table from a plurality of look-up tables, wherein the identified look-up table is determined based on the stain type and color deficiency of the one or more users;
• or
• applying the pixel transformation for each pixel of the one or more medical images to convert the one or more medical images to an alternate color space, wherein the alternate color space is determined based on the stain type and color deficiency of the one or more users;
• and
• displaying the transformed one or more medical images to the one or more users.
