PMA.core Technology
The Backbone Technology. Across all Pathomation products
At the heart of every Pathomation solution lives PMA.core, our CE-IVD certified, vendor-agnostic image management engine powering modern digital pathology.
PMA.core removes the friction of proprietary whole slide image formats and fragmented systems. Acting as a universal broker between scanners, storage infrastructure, and user applications, it ensures seamless access to your slides regardless of vendor, modality, or complexity.
Brightfield. Fluorescence. Z-stacks. One consistent, high-performance experience.
But PMA.core goes far beyond viewing.
It forms the backbone of your entire digital pathology ecosystem managing storage, indexing, access control, annotations, and metadata in one unified environment. Everything connects. Everything scales. Everything works together.
Built with an open, developer-friendly API and support for modern standards like OAuth SSO, PMA.core enables you to embed digital pathology into your existing systems — or build entirely new solutions on a future-proof foundation.
