Definiens has announced the introduction of Definiens Tissue Studio™ 2.0, the latest version of the company’s image analysis software for digital pathology.
Since its introduction in 2009, Definiens Tissue Studio has become established as most comprehensive image analysis software for biomarker translational research. In a wide array of different tissue stains, the software automatically detects and measures cells and sub-cellular components within regions of interest. It provides cell-by-cell quantification of protein expression and describes cellular morphology.
Along with improved processing speed, the second iteration of Definiens Tissue Studio now includes a full range of functionality for the analysis of immunofluorescence tissue stains. Up to twelve immunofluorescence channels per image are supported. It also includes nucleus detection. Definiens Tissue Studio 2.0 maintains the system’s easy-to-use interface and streamlined workflow.
With its “learn-by-example” format, users train the software to identify representative regions of interest, and configure the software to automatically identify cells and sub-cellular objects. Beside the analysis of whole virtual slides, Definiens Tissue Studio 2.0 also provides full support to process tissue micro arrays. Pathologists do not need prior computer programming, and can develop customized image analysis solutions in as little as 20 minutes.
Definiens Tissue Studio 2.0 allows users to train the software on multiple images simultaneously and supports batch processing of slides or tissue microarray cores. This enables identification and quantification of biomarkers across various cells and sub-cellular compartments. The software is able to quantify localized biomarker expression as well as more than 50 morphological features. The results provided by the software reveal underlying biological insights required for successful oncology translational research; supporting retrospective studies, diagnostics development, and early decision support in Phase I and Phase II clinical trial.
Beta testers of the latest version of Definiens Tissue Studio 2.0 at the University of Edinburgh utilized the software in the cell-by-cell analyses of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence assays derived from cell cultures and tissue specimens. The software measured morphological changes to provide researchers with a detailed understanding of the dynamics of cellular change.
