BioImagene,
Inc., the leading provider of end-to-end digital
pathology solutions, and LigoLab, innovative provider of clinical
laboratory information system, today announced the development of an
interface between Virtuoso™, BioImagene’s digital pathology workflow
software, and LigoLab’s anatomic
pathology module of laboratory
information system (LIS). The new interface gives labs using
Virtuoso and LigoLab shared access to critical information and
functionality from both systems, optimizing the clinical workflow.
“Virtuoso is a role-based system that enables pathologists to improve
the efficiency and quality of the various steps in the anatomic
pathology workflow”
The Virtuoso LigoLab integration provides pathologists access to
relevant case and patient information when working with digital slides,
the ability to use an extensive list of computer-assisted
image analysis tools, and embed images and quantitative results in
comprehensive laboratory reports.
“This integration offers efficiency improvements in routine case
sign-out. Pathologists now have access to complete case/patient history
and additionally to whole-slide scanned images. It also offers
integration of computer assisted interpretation of slides with selected
images in comprehensive laboratory reports that are delivered to the
clinician,” said Suren Avunjian, senior vice president of marketing
and sales at LigoLab. “Our partnership with BioImagene demonstrates our
continuing commitment to innovation with emphasis to integration as a
crucial part of comprehensive laboratory information systems.”
“Virtuoso is a role-based system that enables pathologists to improve
the efficiency and quality of the various steps in the anatomic
pathology workflow,” said Vikram Mohan, senior director of marketing at
BioImagene. “The new integration with LigoLab allows our laboratory
customers to have all the necessary information from the LIS available
while they digitally sign-out a case. We believe this integration
significantly improves the turnaround time for cases.”
Demonstrations of the new Virtuoso LigoLab interface will be available
at BioImagene’s Booth 101 at the United States and Canadian Academy of
Pathology (USCAP) Annual Meeting, which is taking place March 22-24,
2010, at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C.
