HeteroGenius Medical Image Manager Pro (aka "HG-MIM Pro") is a professionally supported paid for version of MIM. It bundles a number of additional features (Stereology, Reports Generation, Barcode reading) with a support contract. MIM-Basic is a basic licence that enables add-ons such as the 3D pathology add-on to be used without purchasing additional licences. See the table below for a feature comparison between HG-MIM Basic and HG-MIM Pro).
