DIGITAL PATHOLOGY & DRUG DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

Using Digital Pathology in Drug Development

The digital slide of a patient’s tissue specimen contains invaluable information. To fully exploit the richness of this content, TMD has developed this suite of services for whole slide scanning, viewing, analysis and management of digital slides.

  • Digital Slide Scanning Services
  • Image Analysis of Digital Slides
  • Tissue Micro Array Slide Scanning and Image Analysis
  • Transfer and Validation of Developed Assays
  • Online Digital Slide Review with TMD Pathologists

With clinical trials, multi-disciplinary participants from a pharmaceutical company can assess all pathology slides associated with a patient in a single view, enabling high value discussion of the subject at hand. Furthermore, this high value processing of information is further amplified since all participants can view the slides at the same time independent of their specific location.

The following simple steps can be used to leverage the TMD Digital Pathology interface and environment.

Step 1

Perform the IHC assay.

Step 2

Full scan of the entire slide. If assay is carried out at TMD, the slides are seamlessly scanned into TMD’s database.

Step 3

If desired, perform image analysis of the slides

Step 4

Receive digital image library of each patient’s biomarker immunostains as a DVD record

Once the data is retrieved, TMD can facilitate an online or in-person presentation where these slides can be presented at precise levels of detail, resolution and clarity.

Participants will have the ability to zoom and annotate the slide during preparation and presentation, and to speak to any region of the slide to answer specific questions that may arise.
