摘要

The present invention provides an information processing apparatus capable of selecting a region of cancer cells in any tissue sample image and easily and accurately counting the number of the cancer cells. The information processing apparatus is an information processing apparatus 100 including: an acquisition unit 110 for acquiring image data obtained by reading a tissue sample image 150 obtained by putting a mark 151 specifying a selected area 152 on an image obtained by immunostaining and then imaging a biological tissue; and a counting unit 120 for counting the number of cancer cells in the selected area 152 specified by the mark 151 based on the image data of the tissue sample image 150 acquired by the acquisition unit 110, wherein a diagnosis based on the tissue sample image 150 is supported.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
an acquisition unit configured to acquire image data obtained by reading a tissue sample image obtained by putting a mark specifying a selected area on an image obtained by immunostaining and then imaging a biological tissue; and a counting unit configured to count a number of cancer cells in the selected area specified by the mark, based on the image data of the tissue sample image acquired by the acquisition unit, and having:
a dividing unit configured to divide the focus area of the stained positive cells indicated by the mark into a plurality of small areas; anda small area selection unit configured to select a small area from the plurality of small areas, wherein the number of cells with each staining intensity, contained in the small area selected by the small area selection unit, is counted; whereby a diagnosis based on the tissue sample image is supported.
