Enhance diagnostic confidence with powerful analysis modules

Improve patient care with interpretations that can help increase consistency in diagnosis

 

Pathology images contain embedded prognostic data that may not be apparent to a pathologist. Mining these subtle features can provide better quantitative modeling to improve prediction of disease aggressiveness, patient outcomes and even response to specific targeted therapies. A. Menarini Diagnostics algorithms enhance overall system functionality through computer-assisted quantitative slide analysis to support treatment decisions with objective data and bring patient safety to the forefront.

 

Superior image quality: because details matter

Gold standard fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is a valuable research and diagnostics technique; however, it requires the scientist to manually assess each slide using a fluorescent microscope, a procedure that can be laborious and time consuming. D-Sight automated scanners enable high quality image capture and consistent and accurate analysis of FISH slides, minimizing user interaction for a faster and more efficient workflow.
