Sunnyvale, CA, January 7, 2010
BioImagene, Inc., the leading provider of innovative digital pathology solutions, announced that six out of the Top-10 hospitals and medical centers recently named “America's Best Hospitals” in 2009 by U.S. News and World Report, are working with BioImagene on digital pathology solutions.
The company now has the largest deployed capacity in whole slide scanning globally. “The use of our solutions by such world-renowned, prestigious institutions validates the adoption and growth of digital pathology.” said Dr. Ajit Singh, chief executive officer of BioImagene. “Digital pathology allows one to implement applications that could not be done in the glass-slide world: quantitative comparison, case sharing and collaboration, image analysis, remote frozen sections, and data mining for decision support. Also, digital workflow creates quantum improvements in efficiency in archiving and retrieval, tumor boards, remote case review, and report turn-around. Our goal at BioImagene is to do both: automate existing standards of care, and define new standards of care to enable personalized medicine.”
The list of top American Hospitals that use BioImagene solutions and are working with BioImagene to create the next generation of solutions include Johns Hopkins Hospital, Mayo Clinic, Massachusetts General Hospital, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Barnes-Jewish Hospital /Washington University.
