METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CLASSIFICATION AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF CELL TYPES IN MICROSCOPY IMAGES

摘要

The disclosed embodiments are directed to a method for accurately counting and characterizing multiple cell phenotypes and sub-phenotypes within cell populations simultaneously by exploiting biomarker co-expression levels within cells of different phenotypes in the same tissue sample. The disclosed embodiments are also directed to a simple intuitive interface enabling medical staff (e.g., pathologists, biologists) to annotate and evaluate different cell phenotypes used in the algorithm and the presented through the interface.
