      <title>ChemImage Reports Advances in Characterization of Untreated Fingerprints</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Pittsburgh, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/10/2010 --   ChemImage Corporation recently reported results from a hyperspectral imaging (HSI) study that displayed a 42.8% overall improvement in characterization of untreated latent fingerprints in comparison to previous HSI image processing methods.  <br />
<br />
Improved data collection and image processing techniques were used to examine aged and recently deposited latent fingerprints on various surfaces that typically prove to be more difficult for forensic scientists, including white lined paper, white printer paper, a white business card, black tape and aluminum foil. The result yielded fingerprint images with enhanced detail between the ridge and the substrate without the use of chemical agents. <br />
<br />
"While the chemical development of fingerprints will always play an important role in forensic analyses, there are certain instances, such as prints deposited on valuable or old surfaces or those requiring DNA extraction, where it can be detrimental to use such methods," said John Belechak, Chief Operating Officer and Forensic Science Director at ChemImage. "We are encouraged by these findings because they bring our innovative hyperspectral imaging technology one step closer to being a validated alternative."<br />
<br />
HSI takes conventional methods to the next level by adding a spectroscopic basis for sample analysis, enabling the identification and enhancement of contrast between chemically different materials. <br />
<br />
Complete results from this study were published in the November/December issue of the Journal of Forensic Identification, a scientific publication of the International Association of Identification, in an article titled "Improved Methods of Visible Hyperspectral Imaging Provide Enhanced Visualization of Untreated Latent Fingerprints."<br />
<br />
In addition to latent fingerprints, ChemImage is also researching the application of HSI for bloodstain analysis and questioned document examination (including security documents).

      <title>ChemImage to Present Inkjet Discrimination Research Results at the 6th EDEWG Conference</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Pittsburgh, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/18/2010 --   ChemImage Corporation will be presenting research results on  a new inkjet printer discrimination technique involving hyperspectral imaging (HSI) at the 6th EDEWG Conference, a meeting of the European Document Experts Working Group, in Dubrovnik, Croatia from Sept. 21-24. <br />
<br />
A part of the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI), the European Document Experts Working Group supports ENFSI&apos;s forensic document examination objectives. Held every two years, the 6th EDEWG Conference will offer workshops, scientific sessions and posters illustrating new developments in toner and ink examination.<br />
<br />
The presentation, titled "Discrimination of Inkjet Printer Ink," will examine HSI&apos;s ability to link documents printed from different inkjet printers to a common manufacturer or ink formulation. Initial research found that the cyan, yellow and magenta components of each type of printer brand have their own unique spectroscopic responses.<br />
<br />
HSI takes conventional photography and imaging methods to the next level by adding a spectroscopic basis for sample analysis. The result enables the identification and enhancement of contrast between chemically different materials. <br />
<br />
In addition to the presentation, ChemImage will also be exhibiting throughout the conference&apos;s duration. <br />

      <title>Prediction of Prostate Cancer Progression Possible With Hyperspectral Imaging</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Pittsburgh, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/11/2010 --   A study conducted by scientists at ChemImage Corporation, in partnership with a well-known U.S. medical research and treatment center, revealed that Raman Molecular Imaging (RMI), a type of hyperspectral imaging, has potential in predicting the progression of prostate cancer.<br />
<br />
Blinded samples from 38 patients with Gleason score 7 prostate cancer were evaluated using RMI, an emerging technology that combines digital imaging and molecular spectroscopy to analyze chemically different materials. Half of these patients progressed to a metastatic form of the disease, while the other half had no evidence of it after treatment. <br />
<br />
RMI was successful in distinguishing the chemical differences of patients who progressed to the metastatic state in comparison to those who had no sign of the cancer.<br />
<br />
"The results we&apos;ve experienced thus far with RMI are encouraging," said John Maier, Vice President of Biomedical Research at ChemImage. "We plan on continuing this research on prostate cancer, as we investigate the application of RMI to other cancers such as lung and kidney."<br />
<br />
Complete results of this study will be published in the August 11 issue of the British Journal of Urology International, an internationally distributed peer-reviewed journal focused on urology, in an article titled "Raman spectral imaging of prostate cancer: can Raman molecular imaging be used to augment standard histopathology?". <br />

      <title>Hyperspectral Imaging Shows Promise in Solving Diagnostic Dilemmas in Pathology</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">ChemImage to Present Findings at the International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy</p><p>Pittsburgh, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/05/2010 --   Raman molecular imaging (RMI), a form of hyperspectral imaging, shows promise in identifying cancers that are typically difficult to diagnose. Its history, successes and current advancements will be discussed at the International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy (ICORS), Aug. 13 from 8:30 – 10:00 a.m. at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel in Boston.<br />
<br />
Presented by Shona Stewart, Ph.D., senior scientist at ChemImage, "Advancing Raman Molecular Imaging for Disease Diagnosis" will discuss application of RMI in histopatholgy settings.<br />
<br />
"As RMI is still an evolving technology, we&apos;re looking forward to sharing this important work with an international group of our peers and gaining some valuable feedback," said Dr. John Maier, Vice President of Biomedical Research at ChemImage.  <br />
 <br />
RMI combines image information familiar to clinicians with spectral data in each pixel to imprint a digital molecular stain, unique to each sample, without the use of reagents. Images are acquired from tissue samples illuminated by a laser in a microscope and then analyzed by chemometric-based classification algorithms.<br />
<br />
So far, RMI has shown great success in differentiating disease states in tissue, especially from the kidney and prostate. ChemImage continues to conduct and present RMI research on how it can:<br />
<br />
- Discriminate between two challenging kidney disease diagnoses: oncocytoma, a benign condition and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, a malignant one.<br />
- Predict progression in prostate cancer, where slow-growing prostate cancer is difficult to differentiate from more aggressive forms.<br />

      <title>Research Points to Raman Chemical Imaging as Means for Determining Drug Particle Size in Dry Powder Inhalers In Vitro</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Pittsburgh, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/03/2010 --   Recent research conducted by scientists at ChemImage Corporation revealed that wide-field Raman Chemical Imaging (RCI) shows promise as an in vitro method for identifying drug particle size distribution of Advair Discus® 500/50, a commercial dry powder inhaler with two active pharmaceutical ingredients.<br />
<br />
A dry powder inhaler delivers medication directly to the lungs, so the understanding of its particle size distribution specific to each ingredient is important in determining its delivery rate, stability, dosage, efficacy and safety.<br />
<br />
RCI is a technique used to obtain spectrally and spatially resolved images of a sample, allowing for accurate chemical identification and size measurements. This method, named ingredient-specific particle sizing, enabled easy identification of Advair&apos;s active pharmaceutical ingredients—fluticasone propionate and salmeterol xinafoate — based on the Raman spectral signature. <br />
<br />
"The success this method had in clearly characterizing multiple ingredients in a DPI will allow for a better understanding of formulation efficacy," said Dr. Ryan Priore, Director of Applications and Contract Services at ChemImage. "Ultimately, this knowledge will lead to a safer, more effective and better quality drug product for consumers."<br />
<br />
Oksana Olkhovyk, Senior Applications Scientist at ChemImage, will present further details on the study&apos;s findings at Particles 2010, an international conference examining the science, technology and business aspects of particle technology, May 22-25 at the Regal Sun Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. This is the first time any information on wide-field RCI and its value in analyzing dry powdered inhalers will be shared.<br />
<br />
In previous ChemImage studies, RCI was successfully used to analyze the ingredient-specific particle size of several corticosteroid aqueous suspensions including Rhinocort AQ™ and Flonase™ and metered-dose inhalers such as Combivent®. <br />
