Definiens Image Miner 2 image and data analysis software

Definiens, a provider of image analysis and data mining solutions for quantitative digital pathology, has announced the release of Definiens Image Miner 2. The product provides researchers in the life sciences with deeper insights into underlying biology by integrating image with data analysis, turning images into computation information. It makes the wealth of information in biomedical images accessible, accelerating life sciences research and allowing for successful biomarker development.

By supporting highly effective data exploration and study results, the duration of image-based studies can be reduced from weeks to days. The product provides researchers with the ability to easily switch between investigating trends and patterns in large data sets and drawing attention to subtle analysis details in single images. Using the statistic toolbox and the comprehensive visualisation options, new insights and knowledge can be generated from images. In combination with the company’s image analysis solutions, the product facilitates the processing of very large data sets.

With seamless links between readouts and underlying images, related target structures are only a mouse-click away from relevant data points. The product supports predictive modelling by correlating image analysis results with data from other sources, such as patient outcome data in the development of predictive biomarkers. Interactive plots and data tables provide real-time feedback on study trends, while quality control and assay validation are facilitated by instant identification of outliers and artefacts.
