CRL case study: automated image analysis of lung fibrosis with AI

Charles River Laboratories pathologists are enhancing image analysis in pre-clinical toxicology, lung studies with Aiforia's AI.
Written by Aiforia

The Speciality Pathology Services unit located at the Charles River Laboratories UK site is increasing the speed and accuracy of image analysis in pre-clinical toxicology studies with Aiforia's AI software and services. Veterinary pathologists and scientists at the CRO are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to automate the analysis of lung fibrosis; producing data at high speed.
