Efficient Algorithm For Automated Segmentation Of Histochemically Stained Slides

چکیده
The correlation coefficient between the two classifications was computed over the 36 segments for each slide. Correlation shows how well the position of lipid in the two classifications match, even though the absolute values of total lipid areas (i.e., manual and automated) differed. Figure 3 shows that more than 50% of the slides had a correlation coefficient greater than 0.8. Thus, we can say that there was a good positional match between the two classifications. A scatter plot of the total lipid area of ACLS vs. MCLS [1] showed that manual classification lipid area was typically greater than automated classification lipid area.

Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
