Automatic image analysis solutions and algorithms for customised computer-assisted microscopy systems for digital pathology, laboratory diagnostics and biomedicine

Country of Origin: Germany
Reference Number: TODE20171010002
Publication Date: 18 October 2017

Summary

A well-known research institute in the South of Germany deals within the field of medical technology specialised on image analysis in real-time and microscopy systems. They offer customised computer-assisted microscopy systems as well as image analysis solutions for digital pathology, hematology and microbiology and software for quality assurance in laboratories. They are looking for SMEs entering into a licence agreement or working together in a technical or research project.

Description

A well-known research institute in the South of Germany (Bavaria) offers a broad range of innovative solutions and services for digital pathology, hematology and microbiology - from feasibility studies for a specific problem to customised machine learning methods for the analysis of microscopic data to research and development projects. Besides adaption and licensing of available algorithms and methods in the field of cell segmentation and analysis as well as tissue analysis into existing systems, the institute also provides support with technical documentation and performance of risk management in accordance with the applicable directives (e.g. DIN EN 14971). 

Automated microscopes and slide scanners are an effective tool for quickly and efficiently digitalising samples from histopathology, hematology and microbiology. The institute also develops the underlying technologies and platforms required to efficiently and reliably digitalise and analyse specimen slides for a wide range of applications.

The system is a cost-effective and compact microscopy platform for automated scanning and analysis applications in digital pathology and hematology. The open software development kit (SDK) provides convenient access to all functionalities of the system for seemless integration into own applications.
In addition to that, the institute conducts research into new methods for analysing multimodal image data, e.g. detection and classification of tissue and cells. Among others the methods have been applied to blood and bone marrow smears, tumor detection in pathology and fluorescence assays on test systems. By relying on self-learning models these technologies are capable of adapting to new applications.

For training and education in the fields of pathology, anatomy and hematology the institute develops web-based training systems that can easily be adapted to address further requirements. The institute is now looking for SMEs in the area of medical technology, laboratory diagnostics, digital pathology, microscopy applications in biomedicine and pharmacology, preferably without own R&D department.
It is sought to enter into a licence agreement or to work together in a technical or research project.
