ACR Image Metrix imaging contract research organization (CRO) gave a demonstration of iCAD image analysis software during the 2010 Annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Meeting. This demonstrated that scientists can use novel imaging technology such as DCE-MRI to understand compounds in the early phase oncology studies.

iCAD, a computer-aided detection (CAD) company and an industry leader in providing advanced imaging analysis and workflow solutions to healthcare professionals, partnered with ACR Image Metrix for advanced solutions in DCE-MRI clinical research studies for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

"Partnering with iCAD allows us to offer our sponsors in the oncology drug research arena more advanced solutions to understanding their compounds in the early phase studies using novel imaging modalities such as DCE-MRI," said General Manager of ACR Image Metrix Michael J. Morales. "We found an extremely high level of interest at ASCO and we are pleased iCAD was able to be present at our booth to demonstrate this innovative software technology."

As one of the industry's leading imaging CROs, ACR Image Metrix specializes in providing imaging CRO services to assist pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies around the world.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Gel Doc / Image AnalysisGel documentation (gel doc) or gel imaging systems are used for the analysis of proteins, antibodies and nucleic acid immobilized in polyacrylamide or agarose gels, membranes or microarrays. Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples. Find the best gel doc / image analysis products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Integration ServicesIncorporate lab systems, software and equipment with integration services.Data MiningData mining is an important process for extracting information, patterns and trends from data. Data mining software, databases, reference materials and storage packages are available to process lab data.Molecular Recognition SoftwareMolecular recognition software is widely used to analyze DNA, RNA, proteins and chemicals. The software can be useful for graphical viewing, comparative analyses, high-throughput screening, genomics, proteomics and phylogenetics. Molecular recognition software uses bioinformatics tools and analyses such as BLAST searches and generates structural predictions, 3D structures and sequencing information.Process ChemistryProcess chemistry is an important stage of drug development for scaling-up drug production or chemical synthesis reactions. It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.Biopharmaceutical AdvancesBiopharmaceutical advances follow the development of pharmaceuticals derived from biotechnology, also known as biotechnology medicines. Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.
