Pathological tissue image analysis apparatus, pathological tissue image analysis method, pathological tissue image analysis program

摘要

This invention is directed to improvement of the accuracy of cancer differentiation in the pathologic diagnosis using a pathologic tissue image analysis. There are included a stroma area/duct area detecting module for detecting, from a biological tissue image, a duct area on the basis of duct characteristic information indicating the characteristic of ducts included in a tissue area in the biological tissue image; an intraduct cell-nucleus detecting module for extracting, based on a predetermined pigment reference, cell nucleuses included in the detected duct area; and a duct formation evaluating module for calculating a heterotypic degree of each duct on the basis of the distribution state of the cell nucleuses for a predetermined base areas in each duct.
