A unified environment for researchers working with Whole Slide Images
PIMS for Life Sciences (PIMSLS) is a comprehensive solution for digital pathology image management, research, analysis, and global multi-site collaboration. Designed specifically for the needs of academic pathologists, pharmaceutical researchers, and medical professionals, PIMSLS optimizes research workflows and enhances collaboration.
PIMSLS puts you in full control, allowing you to customize your workspace with the functions you need for your project. View all metadata, macro images, history, and forms in one centralized location. Whether you’re looking to annotate slides or integrate distributed heterogeneous databases, PIMSLS makes it easy.
This versatile tool unifies diverse research applications, enabling you to manage and add data to all your images within a single interface. The web browser-based software provides seamless access to your image applications for multiple concurrent users without the need to install license keys or software on individual PCs.
Key features of PIMSLS
PIMSLS comes with our most advanced suite of Annotation tools and management features. You can draw and edit your own annotations using different simple and complex tools. You can also import/export annotations from other imaging software including VisiopharmTM and HaloTM to review and manage annotations for specific slides. PIMS acts as a middleware, integrating image analysis results in one easy to use environment.
Digital pathology involves more than just whole slide images. You can create and add data forms in projects to capture user input. If you have supplemental meta data available in external data stores, these can be integrated and consulted in conjunction with the image.
In large organisations with complex sets of images dispersed over different departments and storage locations, searching is of paramount importance. PIMSLS, offers you intuitive advanced search options, to quickly look through your image repositories.
PIMSLS allows different organization levels for the whole slide images. The tray feature is a quick and efficient method to create image sets for image research.
Export publication-grade figures and customize every detail of your snapshot, including:
- Selected details such as macro image, barcode, label, and annotations
- Resolution and file format
- Scale bar position and format
Seamlessly integrate with image analysis software, like QuPath or ImageJ, to enhance your research capabilities. This integration allows for advanced image processing, accurate data analysis, and streamlined workflows, ensuring precise and efficient results for your projects.
