PhenoImager HT Whole Slide Imaging System

The addition of the PhenoImager HT Quantitative Pathology Imaging System to the BU medical campus will enhance research capabilities by: High-Throughput Imaging: This system allows for rapid whole slide image acquisition of biological specimens, capturing both brightfield and high-plex fluorescent images (up to six colors plus DAPI). This capability enables more efficient utilization of existing research samples. Improved Analytical Sensitivity: By employing multispectral unmixing, the system increases signal-to-noise ratios and effectively removes autofluorescence signals, leading to clearer and more reliable imaging results. Quantitative Analysis: The integrated image acquisition and advanced analysis pipeline provide precise and objective characterization of morphomolecular signatures, placing them in spatial context for a deeper understanding of biological processes. Comprehensive Pathomics Datasets: The system generates continuous pathomics datasets that can be correlated with other biological data (e.g., clinicopathologic, transcriptomic). This integration facilitates more rigorous research approaches, helping to clarify the clinicopathologic correlates of diseases.
