What is a QPTIFF file?
More Information
Pathologists use Vectra pathology imaging systems to create multispectral images of TMAs, which usually contain tumor tissue or other cancerous tissues. These images, which are saved as QPTIFF files, are actually comprised of multiple TIFF images saved at varying resolutions. Saving images in this pyramidal format allows pathologists to zoom in and out on an image without losing any image quality.
How to open a QPTIFF file
While QPTIFF images are meant to be opened with PerkinElmer image viewing software, several other slide image viewers can also open QPTIFF files, including:
- QuPath
- ImageJ with the Bio-Formats library installed
- NetScope Viewer
