At Proscia, we build software that adapts to how researchers actually work – anticipating workflow challenges, eliminating bottlenecks, and accelerating discovery. Our latest Concentriq LS releases – v4.4 in July and v4.5 in October – deliver targeted enhancements designed to boost productivity, streamline image analysis, and future-proof your digital infrastructure:
From performance improvements that accelerate navigation to intelligent annotation tools that snap to tissue boundaries, these updates strengthen Concentriq LS as the central platform for image-based discovery.
Built for Speed & Scale
These releases introduce performance enhancements and usability improvements that make managing and analyzing large image datasets faster and more intuitive.
Viewer Performance Enhancements
- Faster Image Navigation: Improved responsiveness for zooming, panning, and navigating high-resolution whole-slide images – keeping your workflow fluid even with large, complex datasets.
- Enhanced System Performance: Faster repository loading and smoother image operations ensure the platform stays responsive during intensive tasks.
Smarter Navigation & Review
- Macro View Toggle: Access full-slide context instantly without interrupting detailed review.
- Trail Maps: Visual indicators show which slide regions have already been reviewed, helping you track progress and ensure comprehensive coverage.
What this means for you:
Faster image loading, more responsive navigation, and a customizable workspace ensure smooth analysis of even the largest, most complex datasets.
AI-Ready Workflows
AI-powered analysis is now faster and easier to initiate, track, and interpret directly within your workflow.
Seamless AI Integration
- Launch AI Analysis from Table View: Initiate AI analysis with a single click directly from Table View – eliminating unnecessary navigation and accelerating workflows.
- Visiopharm SSO: Single sign-on integration simplifies authentication and creates seamless connections between platforms.
Transparent Analysis Tracking
- Dedicated Analyses UI: A dedicated interface in the Analyses tab displays real-time intake and processing status for all AI analyses – giving you clear visibility into what’s running, queued, or complete.
Structured Results Display
- Consistent Output Format: AI results are presented in a uniform, organized format across different analysis types, designed for quick interpretation and export.
What this means for you:
Researchers spend less time managing tools and more time interpreting results. AI becomes an integrated layer that accelerates analysis without requiring specialized technical expertise.
Advanced Annotation Capabilities
New annotation capabilities provide greater control, speed, and precision for reproducible research. Edit and refine with Brush and Magnetic Brush tools.
Intelligent Annotation Tools
- Brush: Create free-form annotation shapes with adjustable brush size for fine-grained control. Use the integrated Eraser Tool to refine annotations before saving.
- Magnetic Brush: Automatically snaps annotations to region edges based on color similarity. Adjust the threshold to control edge detection sensitivity—perfect for fast, precise markup of tissue structures.
- Keyboard Shortcuts: Common viewer actions are now supported by keyboard commands, with contextual tooltips displaying available shortcuts directly in the viewer.
What this means for you:
Annotations become faster, more accurate, and more reproducible. Researchers can focus on biological interpretation rather than technical execution, improving both efficiency and data quality.
Security, Compliance & Interoperability
Enhanced security and data governance features ensure labs meet the highest standards for compliance and reproducibility.
Audit & Compliance
- Exportable Audit Logs: Export security and failed-login logs for compliance audits – providing complete visibility into system access and user activity.
- Validated CSV Import/Export: Structured metadata transfers with integrity checks ensure accuracy throughout the research lifecycle.
Expanded Interoperability
- New Image Format Support: Ingestion support for 3DHISTECH, Leica DICOM, and Brightfield SVS formats expands scanner compatibility and eliminates vendor lock-in.
Enhanced Access Controls
- User-Level Label Permissions: Control which users can view specific image labels for secure collaboration with sensitive data.
- Repository Name Display: Repository names are now displayed when moving, copying, deleting, or sharing content – reducing the risk of accidental actions.
What this means for you:
Your lab maintains high standards for data security, regulatory compliance, and reproducibility – critical for publications, audits, and collaboration with external partners.
