SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED STEREOLOGY OF CANCER

摘要

A system and method for applying an ensemble of segmentations to a tissue sample at a blob level and at an image level to determine if the tissue sample is representative of cancerous tissue. The ensemble of segmentations at the image level is used to accept or reject images based upon the segmentation quality of the images and both the blob level segmentation and the image level segmentation are used to calculate a mean nuclear volume to discriminate between cancer and normal classes of tissue samples.
