Automated Cancer Diagnostic Tool of Detecting, Quantifying and Mapping Mitotically-Active Proliferative Cells in Tumor Tissue Histopathology Whole-Slide Images
Cancer diagnosis is based on the assessment of patient biopsies to determine the tumor type, grade, and stage of malignancy. The proliferative potential of tumors correlates to their growth and metastasis. Visually identifying and quantifying mitotic figures (MF) in cancer biopsy tissue can be used as a surrogate for proliferative activity in tumors.
