Medical Imaging

Medical imaging provides a fast, non-invasive way to detect diseases, examine organs, and measure therapeutic response. It is vital in the diagnosis and treatment of patients and plays a critical role in the clinical stages of drug development and validation.

As imaging technologies have become more sophisticated over recent years, the technology to support image analysis has not kept pace. The wealth of information contained within images is not being extracted quickly or accurately enough.

Image-based clinical diagnostics today are characterized by a high proportion of manual workflows resulting in many well-known problems. Manual workflows

  • are frequently inconsistent with high inter- and intra-observer variation
  • yield little quantitative data making it difficult to correlate information
  • result in coarse interpretation standards
  • are time-consuming and tedious
  • lead to quality and safety issue.

Definiens’ technology can be used for the automated analysis of any medical imaging data, providing an unsurpassed level of detail and accuracy based on the precise detection of the anatomy and the segmentation of specific objects or structures of interest in the context of it. Typical application cases are volumetric measurements of lesions or radiation therapy planning.

Definiens software solutions provide image intelligence from screening to therapy follow-up, helping experts to detect and evaluate anomalies accurately, consistently, and quickly. They allow users to analyze single scans and to monitor patient response and disease progression based on three-dimensional volumetric analysis over time. With Definiens image analysis software, medical experts can make better treatment decisions and assess the efficacy of treatments more accurately. Ultimately, patients will benefit from earlier intervention and improved treatment, resulting in more effective patient care.
