CRi Customer’s Use of Imaging Systems and Software Featured in The Dark Report

Woburn, Mass. April 8, 2010- A 7-page article in the March 15 issue of the respected medical industry publication The Dark Report describes how Dr. Michael D. Feldman at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania uses his Nuance™ and Vectra™ multispectral imaging systems and inForm™ automated image analysis software for advancing the field of pathology.

The article refers to CRi’s systems as smarter than current conventional color imaging systems as they utilize sophisticated multispectral and morphological analysis. Dr. Feldman, a CRi customer and NIH SBIR collaborator, emphasizes how CRi’s systems and software allow the analysis of multiple protein marker antibodies in individual tissue sections without having to resort to serial sections where colocalization studies and tissue registration can be problematic. CRi’s inForm software features automated pattern-recognition and segmentation that presents the pathologist with analysis based on user-input, leveraging and augmenting the experience of the pathologist.
