At our latest group meeting, Image Analysis Scientists Habil Juzer Hirkani & Flora Gunn shared insights from two recently completed client studies focused on membrane segmentation within our image analysis workflow. As demand for the membrane segmentation module grows, this session sparked valuable discussions about its benefits, challenges, and future applications. Here are some key takeaways: 🔸 In both studies, membrane segmentation proved to be a great alternative to the nuclei-based method, particularly when artificial cytoplasm wasn’t suitable for capturing the stain accurately. 🔸 Based on previous experience, we optimised our approach to annotations, training iterations, and resolutions, resulting in improved efficiency as we continue to use the membrane segmentation module. 🔸 While limitations, such as membrane data being derived from a 2-pixel-wide line, still exist, both studies successfully delivered accurate and reliable data. Transparent discussions with clients help address these caveats. 🔸 The membrane segmentation classifier has become an invaluable tool. With ongoing refinement, we’re confident that this approach will grow in popularity, especially as antibody-drug conjugates targeting cell membranes play a larger role in precision medicine and targeted therapies. We’re excited to see how this analytical approach evolves and continues to deliver value for our clients! —— 💡 Follow OracleBio for more company updates, the latest research, image QC tips, IA software insights, and more! #imageanalysis #digitalpathology #histology #histopathology #membranesegmentation #precisionmedicine #targetedtherapy #scientificresearch

⭐ 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 As we gear up for this year's Digital Pathology & AI Congress: Europe, here's a throwback to our popular poster "Accurate Segmentation of Distinct Cell Populations Using AI Deep Learning to Optimise Quantitative Digital Pathology Workflows"! Here's the key takeaways: 🔹 Accurately identifying and quantifying diverse liver cell populations is crucial for evaluating therapeutic responses in pharmaceutical research. 🔹 Traditional methods, like specific stains and simulated cytoplasm radii, work well for detecting hepatocytes and some non-hepatocyte liver cells. 🔹 However, Kupffer cells, with their elongated shapes, are harder to segment, often causing issues like misclassification and double-counting. 🔹 Our study shows how AI, particularly in Indica Labs HALO® software, can improve the detection of these distinct liver cell types. 🔹 By using AI to recognize unique cell shapes, like Kupffer cells and hepatocytes, we’re improving the precision of cellular analysis in pharmaceutical research. There’s more to explore—check out the full poster below! 👇 Keep an eye on our LinkedIn for more news & updates regarding our attendance this December 11th & 12th! —— Follow us OracleBio for more scientific posters and the latest insights & research in Quantitative Digital Pathology! #digitalpathology #scientificposter #haloai #indicalabshalo #kupffer #hepatocytes #nuclearsegmentation #biotech #biopharma

🔬 One of the most common challenges in image quality control (QC) is getting the staining just right. Both under-staining and over-staining can affect the accuracy of your results and may even delay a study’s progress. When staining is too weak or too strong, it can lead to false negatives or false positives, making it crucial to get it right from the beginning. For example, an overstained haematoxylin nucleus might appear so dark blue that it becomes hard to distinguish from a dark brown DAB-labelled positive nucleus or could obscure more subtle staining. 🥼 Scientist Quick Tip: "Image QC is a critical first step in any image analysis study. We ensure that every image meets our criteria before analysis, focusing on three main factors: 1) Image scan, 2) Tissue section, and 3) Staining. That said, encountering staining issues doesn’t always mean an image can’t be analyzed. Challenges like these can sometimes be addressed with techniques such as negative annotation or further algorithm development." —— 👋 Liking our content?

At our latest IA group meeting, Senior Image Analysis Scientists Caitlin Rutherford and Hannah MacLeod shared insights from their recent overseas visit to a client as part of our FTE contract. Here are the highlights: 🔸 Boosted Collaboration – Working closely with clients during staining and scanning stages lets us ensure they get the most meaningful data. Being involved in multiple aspects of the workflow also means we can create custom improvements that speed up efficiencies and integrate seamlessly into existing processes. 🔸 Shared Learnings – Live demos of APP development sparked great knowledge-sharing between OracleBio and our clients, opening up discussions on the best image analysis techniques. 🔸 Strong Partnerships – This visit reinforced the value of in-person conversations and problem-solving, helping us better understand our client's priorities and set the direction for our future collaboration. Thanks to Caitlin and Hannah for their dedication to strengthening our client relationships and continuously improving our workflows! —— 💡 Follow OracleBio for more company updates, the latest research, image QC tips, IA software insights, and more! #digitalpathology #imageanalysis #histopathology #histology #pathology #computationalpathology #tissueanalysis #precisionmedicine #biotech #clinicalresearch
