Computer-aided detection system software designed to operate detection systems that are intended to analyze pathology slides and control/monitor a limited number of their functions. This software is typically intended to work only with one or a few models of computer-aided systems, usually from the same manufacturer. The software performs a variety of algorithms to facilitate the analysis of the slides and sending/receiving patient information from and to the local information system. The software is usually not available separately from the computer-aided system but may be updated (i.e., through the release of modified versions) during the life of the system. Dedicated pathology slide computer-aided detection system software that is intended for particular applications, such as the analysis of Papanicolaou smears and prostate tissue, is available.
