For more than 30 years, Hologic has developed and brought to market new advances in cervical cancer screening, including the first liquid-based cytology technology, the ThinPrep® Pap Test, and the first FDA-approved mRNA-based HPV test, the Aptima® HPV Assay. Hologic is redefining cervical cancer screening yet again by introducing Genius Digital Diagnostics for laboratories. The system can rapidly analyze all cells on a ThinPrep Pap test slide, narrowing tens of thousands of cells down to a gallery view of the most diagnostically relevant images. This will help provide healthcare providers with the critical information they need to guide earlier detection and better treatment decisions for the patients they serve.
“Application of AI requires digital images that are of exceptional quality,” said Kevin Thornal, president, Diagnostic Solutions Division at Hologic. “Our teams developed a breakthrough imaging technology that converts physical glass cytology slides into digital images with superior clarity. From this digitalization, advanced image analysis and improved standardization are now achievable.”
Genius Digital Diagnostics enables a more seamless and dynamic collaboration across laboratories within a network, connecting pathologists with remote review so each patient can benefit from the collective knowledge of geographically dispersed experts when needed. Digital case review promises to enhance the experience for lab partners by improving workflow and accelerating review time.
“As a part of our development process, we collaborated with cytotechnologists and pathologists to ensure we were developing a new system to meet their needs,” said Michael Quick, vice president, R&D and Innovation at Hologic. “We’re always innovating so we can help our lab partners detect more diseases and save more lives every day.”
Hologic now offers the first CE-marked comprehensive cervical cancer screening portfolio from sample collection to digital diagnosis. Genius Digital Diagnostics consists of a digital imager for image acquisition, an AI algorithm for analyzing images, an image management server for storing images, and a review station for case review. The complete system is scalable, designed to fit the present and future needs of laboratories.

LambdaTest Unveils Smart Branching and Baseline Management to Modernize Visual Testing Workflows8.7.2025 18:00:00 EEST | Press release
LambdaTest, a GenAI-powered quality engineering platform, has announced the release of SmartUI’sSmart Branching and Baseline Management, a major leap forward in visual testing. This update eliminates long-standing bottlenecks caused by outdated baseline strategies and introduces an intelligent, streamlined way for development teams to manage visual testing across complex Git workflows. Modern development teams utilise feature branches, release versions, and hotfix workflows; however, most visual testing tools still rely on comparisons against the main branch, resulting in irrelevant failures and time-consuming approvals. LambdaTest’s SmartUI changes that with features purpose-built for today’s branching strategies. Smart Branch Comparison ensures visual tests are run against the correct baseline, comparing within the same feature branch instead of defaulting to the main. Flexible Merging Options automatically create and approve merged visual states, eliminating the need for manual appr
