Description
Choose whether to display a reader identifier or a supplied mask.
Pathology records connect specimens, blocks, slides, anatomical sites, processing timestamps and report versions. A recorded piece balance differs from verified tissue completeness, while cold-ischemia and fixation intervals describe distinct stages. Metadata and labels do not establish specimen adequacy, diagnosis, safe handling or report validity.
Choose whether to display a reader identifier or a supplied mask.
When to use this tool
Use Pathology Reader ID Mask when you already have readerId, publishReaderId, maskedLabel and need to choose whether to display a reader identifier or a supplied mask.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter readerId, publishReaderId, maskedLabel. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read displayId. Use the output convention below.
Require readerId and maskedLabel nonempty; display readerId only when publishReaderId=true.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| readerId | Reader Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| publishReaderId | Publish Reader Id | Required. Boolean. |
| maskedLabel | Masked Label | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| displayId | Display Id | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"readerId": "RATER17",
"publishReaderId": false,
"maskedLabel": "Reader A"
},
"output": {
"displayId": "Reader A"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- A display choice does not anonymize underlying records, remove identifiers or establish disclosure permission.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile original accession, cassette, block and slide records when tracing a specimen. Review the full processing timeline and controlled report history for adequacy and version questions; a local count residual or displayed amendment label does not verify them.
