Definiens LymphExpert™

Lymph nodes play a critical role in the assessment of the spread of cancer through the lymphatic system and the staging of almost all types of cancer and therapy control. The earlier the metastatic spread of cancer can be detected, the higher the chances are for successful treatment.     

Definiens LymphExpert™ is Definiens first medical imaging application that facilitates the automated volumetric analysis of lymph nodes over time.

Definiens LymphExpert™ helps radiologists and other medical experts to detect, analyze and quantify the size of lymph nodes over time. The pioneering software application facilitates the early detection of the metastatic spread of cancer. It helps radiologists to

• assess lymph nodes accurately according to the RECIST and WHO criteria.
• quantify lymph nodes volumetrically over time which gives the most accurate assessment of their change in size.
• provide reproducible and consistent results, in a standardized manner, independent of the user.
  

"Definiens LymphExpert™ automatically segments, extracts and quantifies lymph nodes that are so small that the average human reader cannot reliably detect changes in size while also providing the volumetric measurements that other methods of imaging lack. This allows for increased detection performance regarding the number of detected lymph nodes as well as size changes.”
