Digital Pathology Image Analysis

Automate cell counting, identify regions of interest, and pre-screen slides using computer vision.

Computer visionAnatomic PathologyHospital LabsReference Labs

Manual Microscopy Bottleneck

Pathologists spend hours manually reviewing slides, counting cells, and identifying regions of interest. This is time-consuming, prone to fatigue, and creates capacity constraints.

Impact on Labs:

  • β€’Pathologist burnout and shortage
  • β€’Inconsistent cell counts between reviewers
  • β€’Slow slide review turnaround
  • β€’Capacity limitations for growth
  • β€’Fatigue-related errors
TYPICAL COST:
$150,000-$300,000 in pathologist time annually

AI-Powered Slide Analysis

Computer vision models automatically detect cells, identify regions of interest, and pre-screen slidesβ€”allowing pathologists to focus on decision-making.

Our Approach:

  • βœ“Automated cell detection and counting
  • βœ“Region of interest highlighting
  • βœ“Slide quality assessment
  • βœ“Pre-screening for high-priority areas
  • βœ“Confidence scoring for pathologist review

Technology Stack:

  • β—†Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)
  • β—†Object detection (YOLO, Faster R-CNN)
  • β—†Image segmentation (U-Net)
  • β—†Transfer learning from pre-trained models

Enhanced Pathology Workflow

βœ“96% cell detection accuracy
βœ“Process slides in <3 seconds
βœ“Reduce pathologist review time by 40%
βœ“Improve consistency
βœ“Enable capacity expansion
EXPECTED ROI:
12-18 month payback period
