Laboratory use of VisualStrata imaging collaboration system leverages the value of FISH (or Fluorescent in situ hybridization) images (sample image).
VisualStrata not only provides a persistant storage of the images--necessary because the fluorescent markers decay over time--but a catalog of the present and ongoing knowledge-base of the images.
Once the image is cataloged and preserved, experts can layer visual annotations on the images thereby preserving the diagnostic interpretation and results. These results are stored as separate layers leaving the underlying image intact. This knowledge can be retrieved at a later time for ongoing studies, quality improvement, reporting and research.
So, not only does VisualStrata preserve the results in an archive image, it allows ongoing visual and textual knowledge to incrementally accumulate. It is the value incremental visual knowledge that sets VisualStrata apart.
