Ninewells Hospital in Dundee Scotland Chooses Applied Spectral Imaging.MIGDAL HA'EMEK, Israel -- Applied Spectral Imaging (ASI ASI, n See Anxiety Sensitivity Index. ) has recently installed a network of karyotyping Karyotyping A laboratory test used to study an individual's chromosome make-up. Chromosomes are separated from cells, stained, and arranged in order from largest to smallest so that their number and structure can be studied under a microscope. systems in the Human Genetics Human genetics A discipline concerned with genetically determined resemblances and differences among human beings. Technological advances in the visualization of human chromosomes have shown that abnormalities of chromosome number or structure are surprisingly Unit at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee Scotland. The systems support image capture and analysis for karyotyping, FISH, and color karyotyping. "Installing this network at Ninewells Hospital was important to ASI since it marks a significant recognition by the UK clinical market. I know that our success here, and with other clients, is the result of giving our customers what they need, and then a little more," said Limor Shiposh, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "As a result of extensive customer feedback, ASI was able to define its product roadmap to provide optimal solutions and after comparing our systems with the competition, ASI came out superior in terms of performance, technology, ease-of-use, and cost," she added. BandView, ASI's karyotyping system which is compatible with all current banding techniques, simplifies the karyotyping process by combining high-quality image processing with a complete working environment for the clinical cytogeneticist cy·to·ge·net·ics n. (used with a sing. verb) The branch of biology that deals with heredity and the cellular components, particularly chromosomes, associated with heredity. . FISHView, its FISH system, combines high-resolution imaging with complete analysis tools, including automated karyotyping. SKYView, its color karyotyping system, color-codes the chromosomes to give cytogeneticist a quick analysis of the whole genome in one hybridization hybridization /hy·brid·iza·tion/ (hi?brid-i-za´shun) 1. crossbreeding; the act or process of producing hybrids. 2. molecular hybridization 3. . All systems are fully integrated with ASI's robust Case Data Manager with advanced automated backup and network design to easily generate statistics, compare cells and cases, print customized reports, and manage data. ASI is a privately held imaging company based in Israel, with wholly owned subsidiaries in Carlsbad, California and Mannheim, Germany. ASI has developed and commercialized products in cytogenetics cytogenetics /cy·to·ge·net·ics/ (-je-net´iks) the branch of genetics devoted to cellular constituents concerned in heredity, i.e. chromosomes. . In addition, it has brought to market SpectraView(TM), a general analytical imaging system which may be used in a wide range of applications and industries.
