Technical note

What changes when you convert SVS to FITS

SVS is a pyramidal whole-slide image: one file carries the same scanned slide at several magnifications, and the largest level can run past 100,000 pixels on a side. FITS holds a single flat picture at one resolution. That makes the magnification the decisive choice, because there is no sensible original size to fall back on here: the full-resolution level of a slide scan is larger than most image software will open at all. FITS is lossless, so nothing further is discarded during conversion. What it cannot do is restore detail that SVS compression already removed, and the output file will usually be considerably larger.

FAQ

SVS to FITS Conversion

What are SVS files?

SVS is an image format associated with Aperio medical equipment, such as microscopes or scanscopes. Though similar with the TIFF format in terms of features, SVS has a lot less compatibility with regular image viewers and tends to have a very large size. SVS files contain multiple images in a predefined order, including a baseline tiled image, a thumbnail, intermediate "pyramid" images (made up of tiles), an optional slide label image etc.

What are FITS files?

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
