BioImagene Accelerates Digital Pathology with the Next Generation of the iScan Slide Scanner.CUPERTINO, Calif. -- BioImagene, the Silicon Valley based digital pathology pathology, study of the cause of disease and the modifications in cellular function and changes in cellular structure produced in any cell, organ, or part of the body by disease. solutions provider, introduced the next generation of the iScan[TM] Slide Scanner A scanner that is specialized for scanning 35mm slides and film negatives. The slide or film is inserted into a single slot in the machine or into a tray, which is inserted. Many flatbed scanners are also able to scan slides. See scanner and transparency adapter. with version 2.0. The new iScan delivers high quality images at faster speeds and increases operational efficiency. The iScan is BioImagene's premier desktop slide scanning system for easy digital pathology. It allows unattended batch scanning up to 160 slides, freeing up the histotechnologist's time to complete other tasks. Dave Pauluzzi, President and COO, PLUS Diagnostics, said, "People perceive digital pathology scanners as complicated, bulky bulk·y adj. bulk·i·er, bulk·i·est 1. Having considerable bulk; massive. 2. Of large size for its weight: a bulky knit. 3. Clumsy to manage; unwieldy. instruments that occupy a lot of lab space. Contrary to conventional perception the iScan combines a compact footprint, high slide volume and powerful technology to deliver a variety of laboratory, pathologist pa·thol·o·gist n.

PLUS Diagnostics prides itself on being committed to science and innovation and our relationship with BioImagene enables this priority for us." The new iScan produces images with excellent resolution at faster scan times of 3 minutes a slide. A session management module has been added to allow users to save and restore scanning sessions, and allows recovery of the last scanning state in the event of a power blackout A complete loss of power.

Gregory Loney, VP Engineering, Instruments, commented, "The next generation of the iScan was developed incorporating feedback from pathologists using the first generation of the iScan system. The iScan and our proprietary software accelerates adoption of digital pathology applications like image analysis, online pathology education, remote collaboration, and second opinions." The iScan provides an end-to-end digital pathology solution for viewing, acquiring, managing, searching, reporting and sharing images in a pathology laboratory, when used in conjunction with BioImagene's proprietary image analysis and management software.
