Advanced medical imaging and analysis enters FDA guidance, accelerates preclinical trials

The data driving R&D and commercialization decisions in medtech innovation, like histology, can be underpowered and don’t expound the entire product efficacy story. The processing of those images and the associated analysis can be painfully slow and in many cases subject to detrimental observer-based bias and variability – a simple issue of the human eye…
