An integrated cockpit for digital pathology
Whether you’re looking to annotate slides, integrate distributed heterogeneous databases with your slides, or are looking to host collaborative long-distance tele-conferences, Pathomation’s PMA.studio is a true cockpit for the pathologist and (imaging) research scientist alike.
PMA.studio features is built on top of PMA.view, and hosts a slew of innovative features:
Annotations
PMA.studio comes with an Annotations panel where you can review and manage annotations for specific slides, You can draw your own annotations of different shapes. You can then export your annotations to a number of popula formats.
Data management
Digital pathology involves more than just whole slide images. Oftentimes supplemental data is available in external data stores. These data stores can be consulted in addition to the image data itself. We call it “integrated pathology”
Virtual slide tray
PMA.Studio offers to organize slides in a tray – it’s a virtual shell where you can put specific slides or folders. Virtual tray allows you to review slide info – dimensions, file size, # of layers and channels, barcode, filled forms, as well as external information.
Conferencing
Host or participate in virtual conferences that include joint and simultaneous exploring slides or grid of slides and annotating slides. Conferences can be secured with a password and allow for bi-directional synchronization.
