ORNet Biopsy Pathology – Digital documentation of small tissue samples

Automated image-based documentation, verification and measurement of small tissue samples — bringing pathology one step closer to a fully digital, paper-free laboratory.
ORNet Biopsy Pathology combines high-resolution imaging, automated image recognition, barcode verification and intelligent tissue analysis in one streamlined solution.

Document up to 12 cassettes in a single image — with automatic identification, tissue detection and measurement of every sample.
One image. Every cassette. Every fragment. Every measurement.
12 cassettes | 12 barcode reads | Unlimited sample analysis

Designed for biopsy material from different sources and tissue types, ORNet Biopsy Pathology creates a permanent digital record of the specimen while reducing manual documentation.

01 — From cassette to digital record
Automated documentation in seconds

Place up to 12 cassettes directly on the imaging surface. No special rack is required.
ORNet Biopsy Pathology automatically:

1. IDENTIFIES
   Reads and verifies the barcode/QR code of each cassette.
2. DETECTS
   Recognizes every visible tissue fragment in the image — including very small samples.
3. MEASURES
   Automatically determines the length, width and area of every detected tissue fragment.
4. CALCULATES
   Provides the total number of fragments and total tissue area for each cassette.
5. VERIFIES
   Checks the documented tissue area against laboratory-defined requirements and provides a warning when the documented quantity is insufficient.
6. DOCUMENTS
   Creates a digital image containing the cassette information, tissue outlines, measurements and other relevant documentation.

   Up to 12 cassettes — documented simultaneously

   One image can contain up to 12 cassettes. Each cassette is independently identified and documented. If additional cassettes are required, the same container can simply be used for the next batch.

   Typical processing time: under 2 seconds, depending on network conditions.
   
   

   Intelligent image analysis

   Automated image recognition identifies tissue fragments individually, even when samples are very small.
   If an area is not detected, the operator can use the correction tool to indicate the missed tissue directly on the image. ORNet Biopsy Pathology then reviews the selected area and incorporates it into the documentation and measurements.
   02 — Every fragment. Every measurement. Permanently documented.See what was there before processing.
   Small tissue samples can be difficult to document consistently using manual methods. ORNet Biopsy Pathology preserves a visual record of the specimen at the point of cassette documentation.

   Individual fragment analysis
   Every detected tissue fragment is analyzed separately.
   For each fragment, ORNet Biopsy Pathology can document:

   • Length / maximum cross-measurement
   • Width
   • Area
   • Position within the cassette
   • Visual image of the fragment

     The system also calculates the total tissue area and total number of fragments for the cassette.

     Laboratory-defined rules
     Different specimen types may require different minimum quantities of tissue.
     ORNet Biopsy Pathology allows laboratories to define their own rules and requirements.
     The system automatically compares the documented tissue area or size with the configured requirement and alerts the user when the documented quantity is insufficient or sample too large.

     The image becomes part of the case record
     The documented image can include:

     Cassette outlines + barcode/QR identification + individual tissue outlines + measurements + annotations
     The result is a traceable visual record that can be stored, retrieved and integrated with other laboratory systems.

     Safer documentation
     ORNet Biopsy Pathology supports safer specimen identification and documentation by connecting the physical cassette with its digital record.
     From manual documentation to a traceable digital workflow.

      

     03 — Built for the digital pathology laboratory
     Connect. Integrate. Scale.

     ORNet Biopsy Pathology is designed as a server-based solution, allowing deployment from a single workstation to large laboratories with multiple users and imaging stations.
     

     LIS integration
     Connect ORNet Biopsy Pathology to the laboratory information system using:

     API | HL7 | Other integration methods
     Cassette identification and documentation can be connected directly to the appropriate case and specimen information.

     PACS & DICOM
     Digital images can be stored locally, sent to LIS or integrated with existing imaging infrastructure using DICOM standard and sent to long-term storage.

     Flexible digital workflow
     The digital documentation can be:

     • stored as part of the case record
     • transferred to the LIS
     • sent to PACS
     • added to the documented image
     • retrieved for later review

       Scalable for every laboratory

       Whether used at a single workstation or across a large pathology laboratory, the server-based architecture supports multiple users and multiple imaging stations.
       ORNet Biopsy Pathology can grow with the laboratory.

       Towards the fully digital laboratory

       ORNet Biopsy Pathology replaces manual and paper-based documentation steps with an automated, image-based digital workflow.

       Less paper. Less manual work. More traceability
