BioImagene has announced the availability of Companion Algorithms for colon cancer in its Virtuoso Digital Pathology Software.
BioImagene's Companion Algorithms are specific to a biomarker and a tissue type.
Therefore, pathologists are not faced with the challenges of customising generic algorithms in order to make them work.
The colon panel will assist in the quantitation of immunohistochemistry stains for four mismatch repair biomarkers.
These biomarkers are MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2.
BioImagene currently offers more than 100 Companion Algorithms, including the breast panel consisting of HER2, ER/PR and p53; Ki67 for brain, GI and prostate cancers; CD138 for multiple myeloma; and CD3/CD20 for lymphoma.
BioImagene's end-to-end digital pathology solutions, including a demonstration of the new colon cancer algorithms, can be viewed at the annual meeting of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) on 22-24 March 2010, at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC.
