March 2016—Definiens released its Tissue Studio 4.2 software package. The updated product suites provide improved image analysis functionality for scientists in academic medical centers, comprehensive cancer centers, and biotech and pharmaceutical companies.
Users can now configure the TMA core detection for brightness variations in an image data set using a slider, minimizing and even eliminating the number of cores that traditionally require manual annotation. The software features improved automatic alignment for needle biopsies to allow more accurate transfer of the regions of interest between consecutive slides. The software also provides the ability to create powerful “Heat Maps” based on combinations of readouts and object features. Heat Maps allow for a sophisticated and efficient visual review of the local distribution of the biomarker expression, for example of immune cell populations in the tumor microenvironment.
