WORKFLOW

From testing to diagnosis – Our 4-step process

REQUEST FOR DIAGNOSIS

This is carried out online via the NGD-Lab platform.

1. Connect to your account on the NGD-Lab platform.

2. Select the type of examination:

1st reading: request for first opinion diagnosis  

2nd reading: Request for second opinion quality control  

Immunohistochemical analysis.

3. Indication of the histological support:

– digital slides,

– physical slides,

– untreated samples (paraffin blocks).

  • You will be informed of the estimated timeframe for obtaining results. 

SHIPPING AND PREPARATION OF HISTOLOGICAL MATERIAL

1. Sending the slides:

Digital slides are sent directly through the NGD-Lab platform, they can thus be processed immediately. For physical slides or paraffin blocks, the NGD-Lab platform provides a Chronopost voucher to facilitate sending the samples.

2. Preparation and analysis:

The digital slides are immediately processed for analysis by an expert algorithm based on Artificial Intelligence. Slides and Paraffin blocks are prepared for analysis by our partner (scan or IHC test).

  • You can monitor the progress of your request at any time via your dashboard on the NGD-Lab platform.

ANALYSIS OF SLIDES AND SAMPLES

1. Digital slides are read and analysed by the AI algorithm developed by our partner.

The results are obtained in an average of 10 minutes and visually identify the different areas and their level of cancer risk.

In the event of a second reading and in case of divergence from the result of the initial analysis, the result will be reviewed by a medical pathologist.

2. Immunohistochemistry examinations are carried out by specialist pathologists on a dedicated platform.

  • All checks and examinations are performed by pathologists, qualified in France.

AVAILABILITY OF RESULTS

1. You will receive an email notifying you that the results are available.

2. You can access the examination report via your NGD-Lab dashboard.

For a slide analysis, you can consult the image generated by Artificial Intelligence and visualize the risk areas and their probability of cancer (patented technology).

IHC examination results are available in a downloadable PDF report.

3.If you have several examinations in progress, you can access each one directly from your NGD-Lab dashboard.

  • Data on the NGD-Lab platform is securely stored on a HDS certified server (Health Data Host – ISO 27001 Standard)

Optimized and secure workflow for AI diagnosis
