DMetrix and BioImagene Partner to Create a Complete Digital Pathology Solution.Ultra-rapid Whole Slide Imaging Integrated with Large-Scale Scientific Image Management TUCSON, Ariz. & CUPERTINO, Calif. -- DMetrix, the only provider of ultra-rapid, array-microscope digital imaging systems, and BioImagene, a leading provider of image-management and image-analysis platforms, announced today that they will be co-marketing DMetrix's DX-40 whole-slide scanner paired with BioImagene's Scientific Image Management System (SIMS SIMS Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry SIMS School of Information Management and Systems SIMS Sun Internet Mail Server SIMS Student Information Management System SIMS Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences (National Research Council, Canada) [TM]). For the first time, scientists and pathologists will be able to implement a true ultra-rapid whole slide imaging acquisition device and comprehensive scientific data management and analysis solution. Images are produced at high throughput and at high resolution with the DX-40 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. . Image data and metadata can be accessed and analyzed securely through a Web browser The program that serves as your front end to the Web on the Internet. In order to view a site, you type its address (URL) into the browser's Location field; for example, www.computerlanguage.com, and the home page of that site is downloaded to you. . The system's flexibility supports multiple use cases, e.g., remote consultations for projects focused on cancer prevention and treatment. Michael R. Descour, PhD, President of DMetrix, stated, "We are pleased about joining forces with BioImagene because it allows us to bring a total and seamless solution to customers who wish to convert to digital pathology. By combining the leading large-scale scientific image-management solutions and DMetrix's image capture systems, we are providing an innovative digital imaging package that will enhance the way pre-clinical studies and patient care are managed."
