Ahead of the agreement, CorePlus tested the Galen Prostate solution on more than 1,300 prostate tissue slides that were digitized by 3DHISTECH scanners. In total, the solution demonstrated an almost 97% accuracy rate in identifying the necessary pain points.
“The AI algorithm, which is part of the Galen Prostate solution, will allow us to detect cancer and other clinically significant features in prostate cases with greater precision and sensitivity’” said Dr. Juan C. Santa Rosario, CorePlus Medical Director. “All prostate cases processed at CorePlus are now evaluated by the AI system as part of our routine clinical practice, providing us with unprecedented quality control.” Dr. Santa led the process of digital pathology transformation and AI solution validation.
