This study aims at evaluating the accuracy of mitosis detection on multispectral histopathological images by developing a solution specifically designed to take advantage of multi-spectral information. The proposed framework includes a selection of spectral bands and focal plane, detection of...

Digital pathology represents one of the major and challenging evolutions in modern medicine. Pathological exams constitute not only the gold standard in most of medical protocols, but also play a critical and legal role in the diagnosis process. Diagnosing a disease after manually analyzing...

Introduction: In the framework of the Cognitive Microscope (MICO) project, we have set up a contest about mitosis detection in images of H and E stained slides of breast cancer for the conference ICPR 2012. Mitotic count is an important parameter for the prognosis of breast cancer. However,...

Developing countries? lack of healthcare facilities particularly in rural areas has been the major problem for their population. In Pakistan, 65% of population lives in rural areas. The patients from these areas are unable to interact with the health specialists for their particular diseases....

The development of tools in computational pathology to assist physicians and biomedical scientists in the diagnosis of disease requires access to high-quality annotated images for algorithm learning and evaluation. Generating high-quality expert-derived annotations is time-consuming and...

Context: According to Nottingham grading system, mitosis count plays a critical role in cancer diagnosis and grading. Manual counting of mitosis is tedious and subject to considerable inter- and intra-reader variations. Aims: The aim is to improve the accuracy of mitosis detection by...

The categorization of intraductal proliferative lesions of the breast based on routine light microscopic examination of histopathologic sections is in many cases challenging, even for experienced pathologists. The development of computational tools to aid pathologists in the characterization of...

Accurate counting of mitosis in breast cancer histopathology plays a critical role in the grading process. Manual counting of mitosis is tedious and subject to considerable inter- and intra-reader variations. This work aims at improving the accuracy of mitosis detection by selecting the color...

Developing countries, particularly in their rural areas lack in health care facilities. In Pakistan, 65% of population lives in rural areas. The patients from these areas are unable to interact with the health specialists for their particular diseases. The complications faced by women during...
