uPath whole slide image analysis algorithms
An intelligent and advanced digital pathology solution requires artificial intelligence-based image analysis tools that empower pathologists to confidently and objectively assess whole tissue slide images.
The uPath HER2 Dual ISH image analysis, Breast algorithm* is an adjunctive computer-assisted tool that enumerates HER2 and Chromosome 17 signals to determine HER2 gene status within a pathologist-annotated viable tumor region in images of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded neoplastic breast tissue.
Reap the benefits of intelligent design

Integrated and ready-to-use
Validated for use with the VENTANA HER2 Dual ISH assay and Roche uPath enterprise software/ navify Digital Pathology.

Quick and automated
Pathologist-trained image analysis algorithm quickly calculates HER2/Chr17 ratio.

Accurate, consistent and confident
Actionable assessment of scanned slide images that are objective and reproducible.1
Inside the algorithm: uPath HER2 Dual ISH image analysis, Breast
- Enhanced accuracy with a Pathologist-trained image analysis algorithm which results in objective and reproducible scoring of slide images scanned on VENTANA DP 200 or VENTANA DP 600 slide scanner and stained with the VENTANA HER2 Dual ISH DNA Probe Cocktail1
- Fully embedded into the Roche uPath enterprise software/ navify Digital Pathology to enable seamless viewing, aligning, syncing, sharing, and reporting
- Speed up time to results for user-defined regions of interest with whole slide analysis (WSA) and automated pre-computing of the slide image prior to pathologist assessment
- Quickly calculate HER2/Chr17 ratio

A heatmap guides pathologists to areas suitable for scoring based on an increase of HER2 signals relative to Chr17 signals.

A clear visual overlay highlights scorable cells and identifies representative cells used to calculate HER2/Chr17 in red.
The ROI panel allows pathologists to select identified cells and see the corresponding number of HER2 and Chr17 signals.
