PATHOLOGIC TISSUE IMAGE ANALYZING APPARATUS, PATHOLOGIC TISSUE IMAGE ANALYZING METHOD, AND PATHOLOGIC TISSUE IMAGE ANALYZING 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/ductal area detecting means (106) for detecting, from a biological tissue image, a ductal 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 means (107) for extracting, based on a predetermined pigment reference, cell nucleuses included in the detected ductal area; and a duct formation evaluating means (108) 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.
