[Histonet] Interfacing with Meditech Magic

[Custompathlabsolutions]

Shelia,

It's a beautiful Sunday morning so I feel guilty suggesting that you lie but........only to a machine. If you input that the H&E is at level 2 and the next stain is at level 2.1 the new information should not be overridden. When you format the labels you can format the level number as an integer so 2.1 becomes 2.  You could also have levels 2, two & II if you want to mislead the computer instead of lie to it. I think as long as one program sees a unique level that your eye can read as the same thing you can get around the problem.

Hello Everyone:
I am looking for some suggestions. We use Meditech Magic and we are trying to interface with the Leica Cerebro system. We are trying to put the correct info in the .hist section of Meditech so that Cerebro can pull the necessary info for the labels.
My unsolved issue at the moment is how to tell cerebro that I need an H&E label and  special stain label on the same level. My computer person is saying that the second procedure typed in will over ride the first one ordered.
Thanks for any advice.
