BioImagene unveils the robust 3i platform for Image Informatics solutions

Cupertino, CA, March 19, 2007

BioImagene, the leading provider of digital pathology solutions, today introduced 3i, a web based platform for developing imaging applications for Digital Pathology and Drug Discovery. At the core of 3i are three powerful modules of Image Management, Image Processing and Image Analysis, with built-in services for integration and collaboration. 3i is built on patented technologies from SIMS and TissueAnalytics platforms, from BioImagene’s acquisitions of Scimagix and Tissue Informatics. The 3i architecture is optimized for acquiring, archiving, analysis, management, reporting and sharing of image data, for a seamless information flow.

3i helps develop imaging applications faster. It is scalable with open standards used in the life sciences industry. It helps integrate multi modalities and connect disparate silos, enabling users to have information at their fingertips. 3i is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant to support regulatory needs of reference laboratories, biopharmaceutical, and research customers.

Steve Yu, BioImagene VP of Technology Solutions said “Pathologists and researchers are looking for user-friendly applications to manage and mine imaging data in a simple way to meet their everyday requirements. The rich functionalities of the 3i Framework – Image Management, distributed Image Processing and Image analysis, reduce our application development time by factor of five, for our pharmaceutical, and reference laboratory customers.”

The Image Management module allows easy storage, search and retrieval of images and associated data. The distributed Image Processing module is a complete solution for processing large images based on pre defined protocols and report generation in customized formats. The Image Analysis module gives unprecedented speed for developing imaging algorithms for tissue and cell analysis. It comes equipped with over 30 algorithms.

3i has external data integration features and supports easy integration with different applications, web, LIMS, data bases, reporting tools and visualization tools for a seamless information flow. The collaboration infrastructure enables distributed teams to access, view, and share imaging work and is ideal for Digital pathology applications like telepathology, distance learning, peer review, virtual tumor board, and web portals.
