OptraSCAN Announces CytoSiA – A Complete Digital Solution For ScanningPosted by OptraSCAN inc on June 1st, 2021
“We are redefining cervical cancer screening by introducing CytoSiA, it offers a plethora of features, to effectively screen liquid-based cytology slides, and pap smears to differentiate between normal and abnormal cervical cells using Bethesda classifications on normal to squamous cell carcinoma (NILM/LSIL/HSIL/SCC)”, said Abhi Gholap, Founder of OptraSCAN. With a range of scanning devices handling as low as 50 slides a week to 5000 slides a week at an extremely affordable price,” he further added. Our scanners can scan cytology slides of size 15x15 mm area at 40x magnification in less than 60 seconds while generating the highest quality image. CytoSia incorporates patented technology- composite imaging which finds all pixels in focus from various Z plane images and stitches back to create a single layer composite image. This composite imaging technology is considerably efficient as compared to traditional Z-Stacking Technology. It allows for rapid and precise screening of the entire slide within seconds. This level of precision and quality is imperative for analyzing the samples. Furthermore, it presents to the screener images of fields that would be essential in providing a cytological interpretation, place them into categories, and filter out the redundancies. CytoSiA when used as a companion diagnostic tool it notifies pathologists when inconsistencies between their interpretation and the AI algorithm's findings are observed, offering a safeguard against error or misinterpretation, while also improving overall care quality. Features of CytoSiA:
“AI-based image analysis requires images that are of superior quality,” said Dr. Aparna Joshi, Medical Director. “Our team has developed an intelligent imaging technology that transforms physical glass cytology slides into digital images with exceptional clarity. Advanced image analysis and standardization are now achievable with this quality of digitization”, she further added.
