IDENTIFICATION OF MITOTIC CELLS WITHIN A TUMOR REGION

摘要

Methods and systems for analysis of histology slides are described, in particular, methods and systems relating to the identification of pixels associated with mitotic cells in images of histopathology slides. In one example, such a method is concerned with identification of pixels associated with candidate mitotic cells in a digital histopathological image. The method comprises identifying a set of image pixels as being associated with a tumor region in the histopathological image. The method also comprises defining a set of pixel intensities of pixels in the set of image pixels and identifying a subset of pixels as being associated with candidate mitotic cells based on the set of pixel intensities.
