Systems and methods for calculating immune scores

摘要

Imaging systems, methods, and apparatuses for automatically identifying fields of view (FOVs) for regions in an image encompassing melanoma is disclosed. In embodiments and in further aspects of the present invention, a computer-implemented method is disclosed for a tumor region based immune score computation. The method, in accordance with the present invention, involves identifying regions, for example, tumor areas or regions around a tumor area, partitioning a whole slide image or portion of a whole slide image into multiple regions related to the tumor, selecting FOVs within each identified region, and computing a number of cells present in each FOV. An immune score and/or immune-related score is generated based on the cells counted in each FOV.
