From scanner output to structured pathology data.
DPARS is a modular orchestration platform designed to connect heterogeneous whole-slide imaging workflows with metadata intelligence, quality control, standards-based conversion, delivery and retention-aware archival.
A modular journey for every whole-slide image.
DPARS separates responsibilities into observable services so each step can evolve independently while preserving provenance across the workflow.
Specialized services. Shared lineage.
Metadata intelligence
Multi-route metadata extraction combines fast paths with deeper barcode and OCR strategies when needed.
BABELSHARK →Quality gates
Image-quality metrics create explicit checkpoints before downstream conversion and delivery.
QC →Interoperability
Format-aware normalization and DICOM conversion reduce dependence on a single scanner ecosystem.
WSI-FORGE + DICOMIZER →Controlled delivery
Transfer state, retries, durations and failures remain observable rather than disappearing into a black box.
UPLOADER →Archival lifecycle
Long-term storage policy is separated from the clinical processing path and governed by validation-first rules.
WALL-E →Orchestration & audit
Database-backed lineage and orchestration provide a coherent operational view across independently evolving modules.
DPARS CORE →Processing and archival are intentionally separated.
Full-resolution derivatives support active processing. Reduced-resolution archival derivatives belong to a separate lifecycle and never re-enter the processing pipeline.
Scanner → metadata/routing → quality gate → normalization when required → DICOM conversion → controlled delivery.
Database-driven retention eligibility → reduced-resolution OME-TIFF derivative → independent validation → future cleanup eligibility under fail-closed safety rules.
Built for heterogeneous digital pathology.
DPARS focuses on the operational gap between scanner output and downstream clinical or research systems: identity, metadata, quality, interoperability, traceability and lifecycle management. The architecture is modular so individual services can be tested, replaced and extended without collapsing the workflow into one monolithic application.
