Software Integration for Digital Pathology Image Analysis

Leica Microsystems and Visiopharm recently announced the completed integration of Leica’s SlidePath Digital Image Hub with Visiopharm’s Whole-Slide InformaticsTM solutions for Digital Pathology. Users can now take advantage of superior image capture and management from Leica Microsystems and excellent Whole Slide image analysis and Whole Slide Stereology from Visiopharm in a single system.

This integration provides a truly streamlined workflow for customers using image analysis and stereology in digital pathology. All images stored on the Digital Image Hub server can be browsed and accessed via the Visiopharm software. Selected images are then easily opened and analysed by either Visiopharm’s image analysis software or stereology software. Following analysis, users can quickly view the resulting data and associated slides through the Visiopharm software interface.

Leica’s Digital Image Hub, developed by SlidePath, is a scalable enterprise-level solution for the management and archiving of digital slides and associated data. As Digital Image Hub is accessed via a standard internet browser and supports images from a variety of digital slide scanners, it is the perfect partner for Visiopharm’s whole slide analysis solutions. Stavanger University Hospital have chosen Leica Microsystems’ Total Digital Pathology solution for scanning and storage of digital slides, and the Visiopharm solution for image analysis.

While Leica Microsystems will continue to develop and expand their existing range of Digital Pathology image analysis
solutions, including Tissue IA and the Ariol system, the integration with Visiopharm gives additional options to customers, enabling them to choose the analysis solution that is right for their needs. Visiopharm will continue to consolidate and expand its integration to the leading slide databases on the Digital Pathology market.
