The Benefits of Definiens

Definiens Cognition Network Technology surpasses every other automated image analysis system delivering deeper insights, faster results and better decisions.

• Definiens' applications can be developed in a fast and modular way.
  Applications can be developed rapidly by combining existing ruleware modules. Complex tasks can be addressed with the full power of Definiens Cognition Network Technology, which in turn creates ruleware that can easily be reused in other situations.
• Definiens' applications identify the areas and structures of interest reliably
  Definiens' technology can extract any kind of structures in image data - even under difficult circumstances and in difficult cases. This is the key to its success in analyzing and providing detailed quantification of image content.
• Definiens enables fully automated information extraction.
  Definiens' technology offers completely automated image analysis. Its user-friendly interfaces assist scientists and bio-informaticians to extract information efficiently. Definiens provides the perfect platform for high throughput analysis of image data.
• Definiens handles complex real world situations.
  The multi-scale object network can explore an image, the objects in it and the relations between them simultaneously on multiple levels. The technology can even detect anomalies like abnormal cells in a tumor.
• Definiens supports all common types of imaging systems.
  Definiens' technology interprets all types and combinations of digital image data. This includes all the major automated microscopes, digital slide scanners and non-invasive imaging scanners in the life sciences.
• Definiens provides detailed quantification of images.
  Definiens' technology provides users with detailed morphometric quantification of any type of images for any type of task, reducing or eliminating tedious manual analysis. The extracted data can be correlated against molecular data, significantly increasing the level of insight.
• Definiens provides reliable information for decision making.
  The deterministic approach of Definiens' technology ensures that all results are transparent and fully reproducible. The results can be presented in the format best suited for the decision making process: as labeled regions in the image, as objects saved in a database or as statistical summaries.
• Definiens integrates image intelligence across existing processes.
  Definiens' technology is highly scalable, features a modular design and integrates easily into any environment. Its distributed architecture enables it to be deployed across the entire enterprise, supporting end-to-end decision making processes and helping to realize the vision of translational medicine.
• Definiens will continue to lead the field.
  The unique patented software, built on an open standards-based architecture, is a new paradigm in automated image analysis. Gerd Binnig and his team continue to lead the research and development at Definiens, ensuring that the technology will remain at the forefront of enterprise image intelligence.
