METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING AN IMAGE OF A TISSUE SAMPLE

摘要

A computer implemented method of determining an amount of tumour cells in a tissue sample. The method comprises obtaining first image data, describing an image of a tissue sample at a first resolution; obtaining second image data describing the image at a second resolution (wherein the first resolution is lower than the second resolution); selecting a candidate tumour region from the second image data based on texture data determined from the first image data; identifying a tumour structure in the candidate region of the second image data and determining a number of cells in the tumour structure based on its area and an estimate of tumour cell area to estimate an amount of tumour cells in the tissue sample.
