Pathology departments are very familiar with the age old problems of dealing with the costs and inflexibilities of trying to manage large archives of glass slides. In addition trying to collaborate with colleagues in different locations using glass slides is a major challenge. Slide trays have to be sent to/from laboratories in different locations incurring significant costs, tying up logistical manpower, causing ongoing delays in diagnoses, and with the danger of slides

getting lost or damaged. Alternatively pathologists have to travel to meet their colleagues for team meetings, to review important cases, thereby incurring additional costs and the loss of important work days. Collibio is solving these problems.

Oxford, Massachusetts (PRWEB) February 13, 2012

The Ireland based pathology imaging software company Pixcelldata announces the availability of Collibio in USA with the authorized distributor Innovative Imaging Concepts.

Collibio helps the users of proprietary digital scanner systems and their images now to collaborate immediately.

Collibio’s ease of use allows pathologists to quickly connect to existing virtual slide repositories. New scans are automatically linked into Collibio and in conjunction with a LIS relevant case information is displayed alongside slides. Virtual slides can be shared with other lab users and also securely with consultants outside of the pathologist’s organization providng rapid turnaround time for external review. Conferences can be initiated between any number of collaborators allowing simultaneous review of slides between colleagues. Collibio will reduce the administration overhead of a digital pathology laboratory, and allow pathologist to access their slides regardless of where they or their slides are.

Pixcelldata released Collibio as a web application in October 2010 and expanded their software offering by creating a desktop version. The Collibio desktop application provides a multi-monitor “pathologist’s cockpit,” allowing users to increase their productivity and effectively manage their digital pathology projects.

“We were keen to provide our clients with the tools they need to enhance their user experience and efficiently manage large quantities of data generated through using digital slides,” explained Alex Johnson, Pixcelldata's CTO. “One screen can be used to view images, and another to display auxiliary information. The application installs in seconds on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, and all data is immediately saved on a central server.”

Alan Hanley, Pixcelldata’s CEO commented, “We want to help our clients maximize the use of their time and resources. The Collibio desktop application is the perfect tool to use while at your office workstation and the rich internet application software provides immediate access to your data with the same functionality when on the move. We will continue to focus on new product development throughout 2011 and will release an innovative tablet PC version of Collibio later this year.”
