Confidence starts with clarity

Harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to remove time-consuming tasks from your pathology workflow and allow your team to focus on more meaningful tasks.

Pioneers in digital pathology, Roche was the first company to offer a comprehensive portfolio of FDA-cleared image analysis algorithms and digital read applications for the five key immunohistochemistry (IHC) breast markers.1,2 We have since evolved our technology, launching whole slide image analysis algorithms utilizing advanced AI tools.**

Image analysis algorithms for pathology decision support, provide analysis of VENTANA® slide scanner images stained with a Roche Tissue Diagnostics assay. The algorithms extract meaningful information from pathology slide images, so pathologists can quickly, accurately, and confidently assess whole tissue slide images.

Our integrated and ready-to-use digital pathology algorithms include:

Benefits of image analysis algorithms from Roche

Quick, reliable results

For confident decision making

Our image analysis algorithms generate actionable, objective, and reproducible results. The algorithms are trained using a robust and representative data set to automatically classify cells and provide assay-specific scoring.

According to a study, an image analysis algorithm enhances pathologist reporting efficiency, demonstrating a 66.8% reduction in turnaround time.3 Pathologists can make confident decisions based on quick, accurate analysis.

Efficient workflows

Integrated and ready-to-use digital pathology algorithms

Fully embedded into navify Digital Pathology enterprise software, Roche image analysis algorithms enable seamless viewing, aligning, syncing, sharing, and reporting. The AI-powered algorithms, streamline processes, removing time-consuming tasks for a more efficient and productive pathology workflow.

Robust validation

Ensuring reproducible results

Roche algorithms are validated on a robust, reliable, and representative set of benchmark data as part of the end-to-end Roche pathology laboratory ecosystem. Responsible AI principles are included in the development process to ensure standardization, transparency, and reproducibility of our AI in your lab.

Expert pathologists are included in every step of the development process.
