Understanding Images

Definiens is the number one Enterprise Image Intelligence Company for analyzing and interpreting images on every scale, from microscopic cell structures to full body scans.

We help customers to extract intelligence from images, delivering deeper insights, faster results and better decisions.

Our unique Definiens Cognition Network Technology is fundamentally different from conventional data analysis. Developed by Gerd Binnig, the 1986 Nobel Laureate for Physics, and his team, it emulates human cognitive processes to extract intelligence from digital data, such as images. The technology is context-based and identifies objects rather than simply examining individual pixels. It then makes inferences about those objects by looking at them in context.

A huge range of applications

Definiens' technology can be applied in every industry where image analysis is critical, although we have primarily focused on Medical Imaging and Life Sciences.

Pharmaceutical and biotech companies use Definiens' technology to reduce risk, late-stage attrition and time to market. Our software enables them to analyze and correlate image information all along the drug development chain, supporting translational medicine. Radiologists and other medical experts leverage the technology, for example, to quantifiy the size of lesions over time. With automatic comparison and precise quantification over time, a cancer’s progression or remission can be accurately determined. As a result, compounds that are ineffectual can be identified early, reducing the expense of studies and trials. Similarly, costly treatments for patients can be concluded earlier if they are shown to be ineffective.


Definiens' software suites for automated image analysis

Definiens XD and  Definiens Enterprise Image Intelligence® Suite are powerful, scalable software suites for developing image analysis solutions - from single user viewing and analysis, through semi-automated click-and-classify, to lights-out automated high-volume batch processing.

Definiens Enterprise Image Intelligence® Suite addresses 2D image analysis for Life Sciences, whilst Definiens XD addresses high performance multidimensional analysis for Life Sciences as well as Medical Imaging.

Definiens software suites are designed to fulfill even the most challenging image analysis tasks. They are easy-to-use and their modular ruleware and graphical user interfaces enable expert users as well as users with no programming skills to build powerful image analysis solutions. Experienced programmers have full access to the Definiens Cognition Network Technology, enabling them to build innovative customized image analysis solutions.
