Automated Analysis of PIN-4 Stained Prostate Needle Biopsies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prostate Needle biopsies are stained with the PIN-4 marker cocktail to help the pathologist distinguish between HGPIN and adenocarcinoma. The correct interpretation of multiple IHC markers can be challenging. Therefore we propose the use of computer aided diagnosis algorithms for the identification and classification of glands in a whole slide image of prostate needle biopsy. The paper presents the different issues related to the automated analysis of prostate needle biopsies and the approach taken by BioImagene in its first generation algorithms.

Automated Detection and Quantification of Prostate Cancer in Needle Biopsies by Digital Image Analysis
Introduction: Triple immunohistochemical (IHC) stains including antibodies specific for alphamethylacyl-CoA-racemase and basal cell markers have been a valuable aid in accurate identification of prostate carcinoma. However, accurate quantification of minuscule areas of prostate carcinoma in biopsy specimens can often be a challenge. Here we assessed the diagnostic value and quantitative use of ...

This study aims to compare efficiency between 13-core and theoretical 10-core transrectal ultrasound guided needle biopsies scheme to detect prostate cancer. From January 2001 to January 2010, 409 patients who underwent 13-core biopsy were analyzed. We further defined a theoretical 10-core biopsy to be performed by reducing 3 midline punctures in prostate. Then we compared positive detection ra...
متن کاملAtypical Small Acinar Proliferation: Utility of Additional Sections and Immunohistochemical Analysis of Prostatic Needle Biopsies
BACKGROUND In surgical pathology, atypical small acinar proliferation is commonly detected in prostate biopsies. Most studies on atypical small acinar proliferation have examined morphological characteristics and the utility of immunohistochemical studies. However, these resources are not available to many pathology departments. We have found that examining additional sections is a simple and i...
