Description: PathSuite is a pathology imaging software that supports both gross and microscopy imaging. This software uses Login, Preview, and Archive functions to validate an image, make live adjustments to a camera view of an object, and save the image to multiple archives. PathSuite provides a set of text and drawing features to detail images with calibration, measurement, and annotation marks. PathSuite utilizes the file Input/Output (IO), a hard drive or that of a Server Message Block (SMB) mapped directory on a server, to act as a data repository. All information saved in PathSuite is stored in a tiered folder system. Additionally, PathSuite supports the transfer of data to an existing Laboratory Information System (LIS) via the optional TWAIN model. If enabled, a user can select the PathSuite TWAIN drive (x86) and capture images, which can then be transferred to the calling application.

PathSuite 2.0 is compatible with the following PathSuite hardware devices: MagMinder, HistoSnap, CaseTender, OnFocus, PathSuite Foot Petal, and various models of the SPOT Imaging Camera.

This product does not store data in a database but is capable of transferring patient and image data to a database via LIS.

Note: There is no dedicated website for this product.
