| Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) is a relatively new category of patient data. As such, recently, some efforts have been made to better understand how WSIs (whole slide images) can be utilized in a balancing act: maximizing individual and public benefit, while at the same time, restricting and protecting its access, whenever such access would pose a potential privacy risk and non-compliance with data privacy laws (e.g. GDPR). Although by itself the patient’s photographic tissue image falls under the category of de facto anonymity (https://www.lboro.ac.uk/data-privacy/resources/personaldata/ ) of GDPR guidance, the existence of patient-ids and/or other tags attached to the WSI increase the likelihood of patient identification, and raise potential privacy issues.
