WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
BioImagene, Inc., the leading provider of innovative digital pathology
solutions, launched Crescendo - the new Digital Pathology Workstation (DPW) at
the CAP `09 - THE Pathologists` Meeting. The meeting is taking place from
October 11 - 14, 2009 in the Gaylord National Harbor in Washington D.C. 

The Crescendo was launched amid fanfare in front of a packed audience on October
11 at 9:39 a.m. by Dr. Ajit Singh, chief executive officer of BioImagene. He
commented, "Crescendo, analogous to its musical namesake, is at the pinnacle of
diagnostic intelligence. It is an integrated platform that brings together
diagnostic information from all relevant sources, including anatomical
pathology, clinical pathology, radiology, molecular medicine, and facilitates
efficient and effective diagnosis, collaboration and decision support." 

Crescendo DPW aids in transforming the role of a pathologist into that of a
diagnostician. It polls data from silos such as laboratory information systems
(LIS), radiology picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), gross
images, online references (e.g., PathXchange.org), and differential patient
information to provide pathologists with all the relevant information at their
fingertips. Crescendo is a modern-day companion for the pathologists, custom
designed to ensure maximum productivity. 

Richard C. Friedberg, M.D., Ph.D., chairman of the department of pathology at
Baystate Health in Springfield, Mass., commented "With the advent of digital
pathology, all the relevant diagnostic information can be displayed
side-by-side, to provide the most complete and accurate diagnostic picture for
an individual patient. The promise of Crescendo is to integrate the various
diagnostic disciplines into a true diagnostic workstation." 

Attendees can view live demonstrations of the Crescendo at BioImagene`s Booth
411 at the CAP `09 meeting.
