statistics for department administration,
including workflow, sample distribution,
case distribution per technician, etc.
Description of activity history log
capabilities of software:
o
Case
Data Manager database maintains
identification of technician or
cytogeneticist working on case.
o
Karyotype
results, as well as counting results, are
updated automatically in the database. Any
change of the karyotyping results will open
a new line entry in the results fields and
documented automatically. Hence, histories
of previous analysis are kept.
o
Operations
done in the metaphase and karyotype are
saved in the *.bnd file. Original data is
always maintained! When a previous
analyzed cell is loaded, previous user
operations are done automatically on the
original data to bring it back to its latest
status.
o
History
log is under consideration for development,
and will be implemented if required by NYGH.
BandView
Features

times
Automatically
adapted to both brightfield, phase contrast
and epi-fluorescence — no need to adjust
the microscope illumination during the image
acquisition (1 mSec to 10 Sec)
Automatically
adapted to any objective magnification
Live
view of image with optimal contrast is
displayed throughout image acquisition
Powerful
user-interface for quick, simple image
acquisition
Background
displayed as either white or gray values,
allowing the ability to validate that no
part of the image, such as
faint telomeric regions, has been
missed
Inclusion

Karyotyping
at any stage in the analysis process, even
before segmentation has been finalized
Automatic
background correction, which accurately
resolves highly non-uniform microscope
illumination to allow for optimized
segmentation
Analysis
with all objective magnifications, without
the need to change the C-mount or
recalibrate the system parameters when the
objective is changed
Superb
automatic contrast to minimize effect of
small debris in the metaphase
Customized
settings, such as the Band Enhancement
level, can be saved and applied
automatically on each new image
Automatic
separation of touching
Highly
robust and efficient tools to correct
chromosome contours and to resolve highly
complex chromosome spreads
Definable
“Undo” for removal of up to 10 steps in
the analysis process.
10-level
enhancement of fine band detail in
brightfield and fluorescence
Enhance
individual chromosomes, including linear and
non-linear brightness and contrast controls
Restore
original contrast and brightness in one
click
Advanced
color control for precise brightness and
contrast adjustments

separation of touching and overlapping
chromosomes
Automated
classification of brightfield or
fluorescently-labeled metaphases
Proprietary
background subtraction enables automatic
chromosome segmentation on sub‑optimal
metaphases
Chromosome
classifier libraries to improve original
chromosome placement
400-,
550-, 850- band level ideograms based on
ISCN‑1995 nomenclature

Flexible
report generation to include any combination
of data, including metaphase, karyotype and
case data information, physician reports and
analyzed cells report
