Tumour segmentation in breast tissue microarray images using spin-context
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for automatic segmentation of tumour regions in breast histopathology images is described. It uses auto-context to label pixels based on local image features and contextual label probabilities. We propose spin-context to compute context features that are invariant under image rotation. Quantitative evaluation is reported using spots stained for estrogen receptor. The use of context resulted in improved segmentation.

Spin-context Segmentation of Breast Tissue Microarray Images
Tissue microarrays have become an important tool in clinical research to analyse molecular and protein markers in various types of cancer. However their analysis is a timeconsuming task and introduces interand intra-observer variations. An automated method is proposed, called spin-context, to segment in-situ and invasive tumour regions in images of breast tissue microarrays. Spin-context incorp...
متن کاملDesigning an Algorithm for Cancerous Tissue Segmentation Using Adaptive K-means Cluttering and Discrete Wavelet Transform
Background: Breast cancer is currently one of the leading causes of death among women worldwide. The diagnosis and separation of cancerous tumors in mammographic imagesrequire accuracy, experience and time, and it has always posed itself as a major challenge to the radiologists and physicians. Objective: This paper proposes a new algorithm which draws on discrete wavelet transform and adaptive ...
متن کاملA note on the stability and discriminability of graph based features for classification problems in digital pathology
Nuclear architecture or the spatial arrangement of individual cancer nuclei on histopathology images has been shown to be associated with different grades and differential risk for a number of solid tumors such as breast, prostate, and oropharyngeal. Graph-based representations of individual nuclei (nuclei representing the graph nodes) allows for mining of quantitative metrics to describe tumor...
