The revolutionary idea of ??the Israeli start-up company
Imagene, an Israeli start-up company, came up with a revolutionary idea: each unique mutation will have its own effect on the cancer cell. Therefore cancer cells carrying different mutations will look different. The problem - the human eye is not able to find the differences, they are too small. To overcome the problem, the company uses the digital pathology capability of the Institute of Pathology in Ichilov. Thanks to this ability, the appearance of the tumor under the microscope can be turned into extremely high resolution images. The company has developed a special algorithm, capable of identifying the unique appearance of cells that have different mutations. In this way, the presence of a mutation can be predicted within minutes, immediately after looking at the tumor under a microscope, without the need for a complex genetic test
