NIJMEGEN, the Netherlands – Aiosyn, a pioneering pathology software company specializing in AI-powered solutions for kidney disease and breast cancer, has integrated its glomerular quantification algorithm with Sectra’s diagnostic application for pathology. As the first solution for kidney biopsy analysis featured on Sectra Amplifier Marketplace, NephroPath GlomeruCount* allows kidney pathology laboratories to boost the efficiency of tissue evaluations. 

GlomeruCount is part of the NephroPath platform, Aiosyn’s suite of AI-powered computational pathology algorithms designed for precise kidney lesion quantification. NephroPath’s AI quantification tools offer faster, more reproducible, and more detailed scoring of renal pathology biomarkers compared to traditional assessments. 

“The introduction of NephroPath GlomeruCount to the Sectra Amplifier Marketplace is a great step forward in renal pathology. As the first AI solution for kidney biopsy analysis on the Sectra platform, it paves the way for more deep-learning algorithms that provide assessments of renal histological biomarkers. Our goal with NephroPath's technology is to provide quantitative kidney tissue assessments and drive advancements in kidney disease research and diagnosis.”

Thomas de Bel, NephroPath product lead and AI Engineer

Glomeruli evaluation is important for the quality assessment of renal tissue samples. GlomeruCount is a modular and flexible software solution that integrates with existing digital pathology systems, aiding renal pathologists in the localization and counting of glomeruli. Available through cloud deployment and on-premise installation, it delivers accurate counts of healthy and sclerotic glomeruli, providing additional insights such as total areas to enhance quantitative analysis during kidney biopsy assessment. 

With its inclusion on the Sectra platform, NephroPath GlomeruCount is now accessible to pathology labs worldwide, allowing efficient and consistent glomerulosclerosis analyses. Aiosyn continues to expand its portfolio of deep learning algorithms and remains committed to integrating these solutions into standard imaging platforms, such as Sectra’s. 

*Note: NephroPath GlomeruCount is currently designated for Research Use Only.
