The evaluation was performed together with two independent pathologists,
“Many pathologists find signing out benign cases to be accompanied by the anxiety of having missed something important. Decision support tools that are reliable in finding even the smallest cancer foci can play an important role in increasing diagnostic confidence,” says
Prostate biopsy slides from 30 unique patients from both Wexner and Tufts medical centers were scanned using three different scanners. Drs. Parwani and Zhou reviewed INIFY Prostate’s predictions of suspicious cancer areas in all scanned slides. The aim of the evaluation was to see whether the product’s performance differed depending on pathology lab (i.e., variations in slide preparation such as staining) or scanners used. It was concluded that INIFY Prostate works equally well on images from both labs, rendering very similar outcomes in terms of sensitivity and specificity. Thus, the INIFY predictions are robust.
“This is the first quality assurance study that has compared the performance of a prostate algorithm on images scanned on three different scanners side by side,” says
INIFY is a powerful AI-based software that precisely outlines suspicious cancer areas in prostate biopsies, with unique, detailed pixel-level focus – a result of MasterAnnotation, a patented annotation method used in training of the algorithms.
“This result adds to several studies that confirms INIFY’s ability to support the pathologists in their daily clinical work,” says
