Staining tissue images digitally and helping pathologists analyse slides
Pathologists examine stained tissue to diagnose disease and guide treatment. Chemical staining requires laboratory processing and reagents, and generates hazardous waste. Preparing samples takes time, while small biopsies leave limited tissue for further tests.
admorai develops AI software that digitally stains scanned tissue images without chemical reagents. Its tissue-analysis tools filter irrelevant image regions and help pathologists identify lymph node metastases in colorectal cancer.
