RE: [Histonet] IHC imaging systems

I am setting up the Ventana system and performing validation, it's taking a 
little longer to set up then expected but the support has been excellent. 
Hopefully will have it running and validated in the next few months. Validation 
is the time consumer I found with setting up a system.

Hello out there in Histoland,

If any of you out there in the clinical environment are using imaging
systems to quantify IHC slides, please let me know what system you are
using.

We are currently using a system that was provided through Dako, but they no
longer support it.  So time to consider buying a new one.  It needs to have
an algorithm that allows the system to distinguish between labelled and not
labelled cells and the percentage of each.

Thanks in advance,

Paula

Paula

There are many companies that have software that will do this for you.  I would 
check the DPA website - www.digitalpathologyassociation.org.  The decision you 
will make is going to be dependent on software capabilities, cost, if you need 
it to be 510K cleared, etc.

Here is a link to the software vendors - note some of these are pathology 
system vendors

https://digitalpathologyassociation.org/software-vendors

Here is a link to the hardware vendors (scanners) some also have software but 
I'm not sure if you can purchase software only and you need to check if its 
compatible with your images

https://digitalpathologyassociation.org/hardware-vendors

Good Luck
