This section provides a collection of a consensus-based cell library of meaningful hematopoietic images provided, identified and named by members of the European Morphology Faculty, including 28 experts from 17 different European countries. In this cell collection of 228 pictures there are 604 labelled hematopoietic cells and an excel file where each cell is identified by its code on the images, by the type of stain used, the lineage and the consensual name agreed upon by the ELN Diagnosis Morphology Faculty. From May 2007 on, each Faculty member first submitted a set of images. After several rounds of electronic circulation of digitalized pictures, the Faculty reached full agreement for 348 cells, while the agreement on the remaining 256 cells (highlighted with a red circle on the web site) was pending. The latter was reached after a 2-full-day meeting in October 2008. This cell library is the first ELN European tool to train and test European morphologists, aiming to provide a harmonized consensus-name to single hematopoietic cells according to morphological features as seen in light microscopy. The next step of this project will consist in creating a new Faculty with the aim to provide clinical cases as diagnosis pathways, starting from peripheral blood to the final diagnosis and prognosis and according to consensus diagnostic guidelines. The goal is to stratify onco-hematologic patients at diagnosis according to harmonized practices all over Europe. -TABLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE AFTER IMAGES- Faculty chair: Zini G.

Editor: H. Link, Kaiserslautern ONKODIN Image Bank is an online informational resource for experts, physicians and students, that has been in existence since July of 2004. Its focus is on supporting education and research in hematological neoplasia occurring in blood, bone marrow, lymph node and body fluid specimens such as cerebral spinal fluid, ascites and pleural effusions. ONKODIN Image Bank contains normal and pathological findings, hematological diseases, and other diseases containing hematological findings, as well as classifications, an expert panel and general information. The images are mostly presented in a case-based format that allows both the images and text to be searched. Images can be zoomed to get a detailed presentation of the image. This project is an ongoing development due to the multitude of hematological cases and images, as well as the constant influx of new information appearing in the field. Active decision support tools that quiz the website-users wil...
