OverviewQuantCenter is a modular whole-slide image analysis platform designed for quantitative histopathology and molecular pathology workflows. The platform centralizes algorithmic modules and supports AI-driven segmentation and deep-learning modules to enable reproducible, high-precision quantification across single and multi-slide studies.
Main capabilitiesQuantCenter provides customizable analysis pipelines, batch processing for multiple slides, server-side execution for high-throughput workflows, and integrated visualization for inspecting and exporting results. It is intended for research and clinical study environments where reproducibility and traceability are required.
Combinable modules and tools- HistoQuant — identifies stained tissue elements based on color and intensity features
- PatternQuant — trainable pattern recognition module for tissue classification and pre-segmentation
- PatternQuant Plus — enhanced PatternQuant using deep learning for complex tissue segmentation
- NuclearQuant — cell nuclei detection and quantification for IHC-stained samples
- MembraneQuant — detects cell membranes and quantifies membrane-stained samples
- CellQuant — versatile cell detection for various IHC stainings (e.g., Ki67)
- DensitoQuant — stain-intensity-based IHC quantification tool
- FISHQuant — quantifies FISH signals on tissue samples of solid tumors
- CISHQuant — quantifies CISH-stained samples
- DNA Break Quant — quantifies double-strand DNA breaks by detecting γH2AX foci in immunofluorescence-stained nuclei
- ScriptQuant — allows users to run custom image analysis algorithms within the QuantCenter framework
- SimpleSlideInterface — provides easy access to slide-related data for custom application development
- QuantServer — executes processing and stores analysis results on a dedicated server
- BatchAnalysis-ProcessingQueue — background processing queue allowing multiple slides to be examined simultaneously
- Data Visualization (DVT) — integrated visualization modes such as tables, scatterplots, pie charts, and histograms for intuitive interpretation
Additional notesQuantCenter's architecture is scalable from small-scale research projects to high-throughput clinical studies. Server-side processing centralizes computations and results, and exported outputs support reporting and collaboration. The modular framework allows adaptation to specific workflows and specialized quantification tasks.
