Stanford Medicine
Stanford Medicine

The Division of Nephrology reduced experiment duration by 80% while processing 3x more images.

Problem
Stanford was using three different pieces of software to identify, annotate, and count podocytes and glomeruli in microscopy images.
Solution
Stanford started using Encord's annotation tools & SDK to automate segmentations, count, and calculate sizes of segments.
Results
With Encord, Stanford researchers reduced experiment duration from an average of 21 to 4 days while processing 3x the number of images.

King's College London

KCL used Encord to achieve a 6.4x average increase in labeling efficiency for GI videos.

Problem
Using clinicians to annotate pre-cancerous polyp videos had prohibitively high costs to produce large datasets.
Solution
Deployed Encord's micro-model module to increase clinician labeling efficiency and automate 97% of produced labels.
Results
Highest expense clinician saw 16x labeling efficiency improvement. Cut model development time from 1 year to 2 months.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

MSK adopted Encord to build custom label protocols for pulmonary thrombosis projects.

Problem
Detecting and classifying vena cava filters in complex label protocols (ontologies) rendered existing & open-source tools unusable.
Solution
Deployed Encord's label protocol studio to build custom protocols, DICOM annotation tool, worklists & automation modules to increase efficiency.
Results
Project made feasible by the flexibility offered by Encord's ontology study.
