TissueMark software from PathXL, Belfast, enables the rapid detection of cancer characteristics in tissue with greater speed and consistency than can be provided by a human pathologist. Compatible with major slide-scanning platforms, the software analyzes hundreds of image features such as pixel organization and color information that are linked to certain cancers, and generates a heat map reflecting actionable data. By detecting subtle shifts in image pattern that are not visible to the naked eye, the software can mark a cancerous region against a background of normal or nonmalignant cells. Since TissueMark can process and mark as many samples in several minutes as many pathologists can complete in a full day, the software can help facilitate rapid diagnosis and eliminate false positives while freeing pathologists for tasks requiring specialized intervention.
