As multiplexed imaging continues to push the boundaries of discovery in pre-clinical research, research teams face an overwhelming challenge: managing, storing, and collaborating on ever-expanding datasets. Traditional methods of image storage and sharing, whether through local servers, network-attached storage (NAS), or cloud services like AWS, have proven to be inefficient, costly, or generally ill-suited for the demands of high-volume image analysis.In our recent webinar, Scalable Image Management System in Spatial Biology, Pathcore’s CEO Dan Hosseinzadeh explored these technical challenges and then introduced PathcoreFlow 4.0, a next-generation cloud-based image management system designed to revolutionize how pathologists and research teams handle spatial biology files.

Working with high-plex images—generated by modern multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) platforms for spatial biology applications—often present significant challenges. File storage and retrieval, collaboration barriers, and other platform limitations hinder robust analysis and the speed at which insights can be generated.Recent developments in spatial biology have led to an explosion of high dimensional images. These high-plex images are extremely challenging to store, share, and analyze. They also come in multiple proprietary image formats that aren’t compatible with most software platforms. Moreover, managing the storage costs of these extensive datasets presents a considerable economic challenge.

Pathcore Inc., a leader in digital pathology software solutions, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Instem LLS Limited, a global leader in laboratory information systems (LIS) for pre-clinical life sciences and drug development.

Today, Pathcore is introducing technologies that lower implementation costs of digital pathology. Our new hierarchical storage management (HSM) system enables large-scale digitization of pathology slides by reducing the cost of image storage and archival by up to 60%.

In the specialized field of digital pathology, managing secure and efficient access to research and analysis tools is essential. Pathcore’s recent integration of Single Sign-On (SSO) significantly improves both the security and user experience of its platform.

Large-scale adoption of digital pathology in FDA-regulated industries has long been challenging because of limited vendor support for software system validation, exportable audit trails and other technical controls required by 21 CFR Part 11 regulations.

We're thrilled to announce the addition of Dr. Kamyar Abhari, Ph.D., to the Pathcore team as Director of Engineering. Reporting directly to the CEO, Dr. Abhari will play a pivotal role in leading and empowering our exceptionally skilled engineering team.

At Pathcore, we strive to enable researchers and pathologists by connecting them with the tools needed to succeed in the digital era, empowering them to advance scientific discovery.

Pathologists have a significant impact on the accuracy of clinical diagnoses. Patient management decisions are dependent upon the accuracy of the reports generated by pathologists, which guide clinicians in ensuring optimal therapeutic plans are formulated.

March 8th is International Women’s Day - a global day of recognition and celebration for the achievements of women. At Pathcore, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the outstanding achievements of 10 trailblazing women in pathology, both past and present.

An Image Management System (IMS) should improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your pathology lab. Finding the right IMS plays a critical role in what you can achieve with your digital pathology (DP) system. The digital pathology ecosystem is fragmented, but a good IMS can bridge these gaps - they are designed to broker communication between systems.

Pathology is considered one of the oldest, yet most important pillars in medicine and healthcare. Over the past 20 years, technology has played a key role in disrupting and changing the landscape of several industries by digitizing traditional analog processes - and pathology is no exception.

Looking back on 2019, it has definitely been an exciting year for all of us at Pathcore. We launched our new website, introduced new software features, attended many trade shows and conferences, and welcomed new members to our team!

It is estimated that on average, every two minutes a woman in the US is diagnosed with breast cancer.1 Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Amercican women, with more than 260,000 new cases expected to be reported in 2019.2

DICOM WG-26 continued to push the boundaries of interoperability at DICOM Digital Pathology Connectathons throughout 2019. Similar to 2018’s successful Connectathons, these events showcased the use of the DICOM Standard to achieve interoperability of Whole Slide Imaging between different vendor’s equipment and software. Learn more about DICOM for Digital Pathology Interoperability.

Last month, we had a look at Drexel University’s PathcoreFlow-empowered reporting workflow. If you missed it, don’t worry. The short is pretty straightforward: thanks to folder-based data organization and customizable report templates, reporting at Drexel is now fast and painless (and saves 0.5 FTE).

At Drexel Medicine’s Advanced Pathology Imaging Lab, Director Mark Zarella strives to deliver the same high-quality service patients might find at larger institutions. To reach that standard, Zarella committed to digital pathology almost 20 years ago, on the promise it would streamline clinical reporting workflows. Faster reporting would, in turn, give clinicians more time to focus on the work that directly involves patients.

HTL specializes in preclinical immunohistochemistry and image analysis.

We’re happy to confirm another DICOM Digital Pathology Connectathon, at this year’s ECDP conference in Coventry, UK (held April 10th-13th).

Recently, there’s been a whirlwind of activity in the DICOM community surrounding digital pathology. Among the highlights were the DICOM Digital Pathology Connectathon events that brought vendors from all corners of the digital pathology community together for demonstrations of interoperability. DICOM’s Pathology Working Group (WG-26) has organized four DICOM Digital Pathology Connectathons during the past year.

A recent article from the National Academy of Medicine: Procuring Interoperability: Achieving High-Quality, Connected, and Person-Centered Care highlights the results of adopting standards for true interoperability: more patient-centric and high quality care. DICOM is the universal standard for interoperability in medical imaging - we wrote a blog about why it's important that you can read here.
