PARS multiplex video of normal skin tissue 

Dr. Ally-Khan Somani, MD, PhD, EMBA, a board-certified dermatologist and micrographic surgeon presents PARS multiplex imaging from a single unstained slide. 

PARS® Applications Under Development

PARS® ADVANCED IMAGING DEVICE 

• Novel microscope to acquire radiation, non-radiation, scattering and time domain signals simultaneously.
• PARS Deep Data enables new microscopic insights for life sciences and pharmaceutical research.
• AI-based image processing.
• Multiple virtual stains and molecular  diagnostics from a single sample for rapid diagnosis in pathology labs.
• Remote diagnosis for improved clinical workflow.

PARS® IN-SURGERY DEVICE

•  Avoidance of repeated surgical procedures, as PARS replaces final H&E diagnostics intraoperatively (today: tumor margin assessment takes up 2 weeks with up to 32.5% re-excision rate in breast cancer surgery).
  
• Improved OR utilization, as PARS replaces the frozen section workflow and delivers results within 5 minutes.
  
• Cost savings as histotechnician is no longer needed.

illumiSonics develops PARS® advanced optical imaging systems 
for a wide range of pre-clinical and clinical applications.

PARS® is a revolutionary microscope for in-situ diagnostics. It is:

• Non-contact
• High-resolution
• Label-free
• Non-destructive
• 3D

The PARS®-Technology

PARS® offers ...

• Imaging at least as good as diagnostic-quality H&E histology
• Fresh tissue imaging without dyes
• Thick tissue samples
• Contact-free imaging
• Near real-time feedback (< 5 min)
• Additional biological information beyond H&E
• Downstream processing (no staining of samples necessary)
• AI-supported cloud diagnostics
