Overview
• Connecting high-quality images of solid-dosage forms with the SPL (SPLIMAGE)
• Initiating a pilot project to create a library of images of Rx, solid-dosage forms (U.S. market)
• Creating a system for comparative review/rapid identification
Origins
• National Library of Medicine/NIH
• Center for Drug Evaluation and Research/FDA
• Poison Control Centers
• Department of Veterans Affairs
• Working with imaging experts• Set standards for consistent high-quality images
• Hosting images at NLM• SPL already being hosted through DailyMed
• Prototype images shot at VA CMOP• Pilot project (Fall 2009)• Public domain resource• Scalable/portable framework

Dialogue with Manufacturers
• Sponsor submission of images to SPL for reference and enhancing patient safety
• Logistics/sustainability• Acquiring samples and imaging• Manufacturers verifying images and submitting
image for inclusion with SPL• Incorporate digital imaging currently performed
by sponsors
• Enhance accuracy of SPL
Pilot Project (Fall 2009)
• NLM imaging at FDA facility, Rockville, MD• FDA call for voluntary submission of
samples• 6 samples of each solid dosage form
• NLM will provide SPL-ready images AND master high-resolution images
• Sponsor submission of SPLIMAGE• HHS/ASPR disposal of samples
