Automated detection of cancerous or precancerous tissue by measuring malignancy associated changes.

摘要

An appatatus and a method for detecting malignancy associated changes relies on use of the microscope having a high sampling density light transducer. Images of the cell nuclei are obtained in precise focus. The images are segmented using a relocation algorithm for precisely locating the edge of the nucleus. The features of the images including DNA distribution are analyzed using multivariate analysis to detect malignance associated changes. <IMAGE>
