RESEARCH USE
Where HALO fits
HALO supports quantitative analysis of whole-slide pathology images. Researchers select analysis modules, define tissue regions and cell-detection rules, and extract measurements relevant to their study. Results need to be checked across staining batches, scanners, and tissue types before applying a pipeline to a larger cohort. Preserve the annotations, settings, software version, and review decisions so that a reported measurement can be traced back to the image.
Research tasks
- Quantify cells and biomarker signals in tissue sections
- Analyze whole-slide images in batches
- Compare image-derived measurements across study groups
What to evaluate before use
- HALO, the optional HALO AI toolbox, and HALO Link are distinct products or components. Confirm which capabilities a proposed license includes.
- Image-analysis measurements are not clinical diagnoses. Detection errors and batch effects need separate assessment.
