METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DIGITAL IMAGE BASED TISSUE INDEPENDENT SIMULTANEOUS NUCLEUS, CYTOPLASM AND MEMBRANE QUANTITATION

摘要

A method and system for automatic digital image based tissue independent simultaneous nucleus, cytoplasm and membrane quantitation. Plural types of pixels comprising cell components including at least cell cytoplasm and cell membranes from a biological tissue sample to which a chemical compound has been applied and has been processed to remove background pixels and pixels including counterstained components are simultaneously identified. The identified cell components pixels are automatically classified to determine a medical conclusion such as a human breast cancer, a human prostrate cancer or an animal cancer.
