1. A system for viewing a digital slide image having imagery data at a plurality of resolution levels, comprising: a data storage area configured to store a plurality of DICOM studies having digital slide image data of at least two resolution levels, wherein each DICOM study comprises a first DICOM series having a first plurality of DICOM images at a first resolution, wherein each of said first plurality of DICOM images corresponds to one of a first plurality of digital slide image data regions at the first resolution and a second DICOM series having a second plurality of DICOM images at a second resolution, wherein each of said second plurality of DICOM images corresponds to one of a second plurality of digital slide image data regions at the second resolution; and an image viewer module configured to identify a stored DICOM study, obtain a first DICOM series from the identified DICOM study, align the DICOM images in the first DICOM series to create a contiguous digital image at the first resolution, and present the contiguous digital image at the first resolution on a viewer station.
