TETRA Digital
Tissue Library

A structured biomedical imaging resource for tissue characterisation, cancer research, metamaterial-inspired modelling and responsible AI development.

Research-use resource. AI-ready and validation labels describe dataset curation status; they do not constitute clinical certification.

CURATED DISCOVERY

Explore the tissue library

Search by tissue, diagnosis, modality, preparation method or validation state. Replace the demonstration records with approved D1.2/TETRA data through assets/data.js.

Breast Carcinoma Collection added: Five real microscopy images from the uploaded breast carcinomas archive are now included as research records. The carcinoma label is taken from the archive name. Missing histological subtype, grade, receptor status, stain, magnification and clinical-validation metadata are explicitly left as “Not supplied” rather than inferred.
Healthy ↔ Tumour comparison collection: Sample 32 now contains six uploaded Healthy Choroid TIFF records and eight uploaded Tumour TIFF records. Both 4× and 20× bright-field/phase-contrast acquisitions are represented. The Healthy/Tumour labels come from the supplied filenames and are not generated by the TETRA AI prototype.
Healthy Choroid Collection added: six real TIFF microscopy images from sample 32 are now integrated at 4× and 20×, using bright-field (BF) and phase-contrast (Ph1) acquisitions. The label Healthy is preserved from the supplied filenames; missing biomedical metadata is not inferred.

Uploaded Retina Collection: 195 image assets were detected (182 JPEG slices and 13 TIFF/TIFF stacks). The library below uses real representative slices from the uploaded archive. Records are labelled Research because diagnosis, magnification, ethics, patient identifiers and clinical validation metadata were not supplied in the archive.

TETRA-SPECIFIC LAYER

From biological image to translational evidence

The library separates raw observations, expert interpretation, computational features and validation evidence so every downstream result remains traceable.

01

Tissue image

Microscopy / histopathology with acquisition metadata.

→
02

Expert annotation

Regions of interest and pathology labels with provenance.

→
03

TETRA descriptors

Morphology, scattering, optical and effective-medium features.

→
04

AI analysis

Versioned model outputs, confidence and reproducibility data.

→
05

Validation

Independent test cohorts and clearly declared scope.

MINIMUM DATA STANDARD

Every image should be more than a picture.

A strong TETRA library records how a sample was prepared, acquired, interpreted and approved for reuse. This protects scientific reproducibility and makes future AI validation possible.

D1.2
FORMAL DELIVERABLE

Keep D1.2 visible — but separate from the living library.

The formal deliverable remains citable and fixed. The Digital Tissue Library is the evolving discovery layer built around versioned, approved records.
