PathAI, a leading digital and computational pathology company which provides precision pathology solutions has announced the availability of ArtifactDetect1 on AISight™2, PathAI’s digital pathology image management system. This product automates the detection of artifacts on digital pathology whole slide images and quantifies the extent of artifact on any WSI. Artifacts are unintentional morphological features that do not have any histopathological relevance. Artifacts can limit the utility of these images for review by pathologists and require replacement of the image, which can create delays in slide review and case turnaround time.
The addition of ArtifactDetect to the menu of algorithms available through AISight broadens the set of efficiencies that are enabled through computational pathology and improved laboratory operations with a digital workflow. This technology automatically identifies poor-quality samples, allowing for timely interventions such as re-staining or re-scanning, thereby saving valuable resources on scanning tech, histotechnology, and pathologist time.
This announcement addresses a crucial gap in pathology labs — the lack of a standardized slide quality control system. Pathologists often spend significant time reviewing non-evaluable slides due to the absence of established quality standards. With ArtifactDetect, PathAI aims to provide quality control and workflow optimization features, empowering pathology labs worldwide.
“We are very excited to partner with PathAI to enhance automation and accuracy in our laboratories, benefiting both our operations and the value we bring to our beneficiaries,” remarked Dr. Fernando Soares, Full Professor at the University of Sao Paolo and Head of the Department of Anatomic Pathology at Rede D’Or. Rede D’Or is the largest integrated health network in Brazil with more than 70 hospitals and 55 oncology clinics in operation across more than ten states. “We have been testing the AIM-HER2 Breast Algorithm on our diverse cohorts to much success and are excited to expand our collaboration with PathAI to include algorithms that can drive workflow efficiencies and help us better track the quality of our whole slide images.”
"The absence of a consistent slide quality standard leads to inefficiencies and challenges in pathology labs," says Dr. Eric Walk, Chief Medical Officer at PathAI. "Our goal is to distribute our advanced algorithms to foster a standardized approach, significantly reducing the time spent on non-evaluable slides."
