Cytomorphometry of Fine Needle Biopsy Material from the Breast Cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computer system has been developed for evaluating the morphometrical feature extraction. The features are derived directly from a digital scan of breast fine needle biopsy slides. First the background elimination by thresholding hue component is applied, then the actual segmentation is done with region growing technique. The quality of feature space is measured with classifier based on nonparametric density estimation. The automatic system of malignancy classification was applied on a set of medical images with promising results.

Steroid hormone receptors, MIB-1, p53, and c-erb-B2 expression on breast cancer: Comparison of immunohistochemistry on cell block and fine needle aspiration and tissue sample, in northwest Iran
Background: Fine-needle aspiration of breast cancer often provides moderate cellular material that is representative of the tumors. These samples can be used not only for cytological diagnosis but also to obtain information on the prognosis and likely response to therapy by using immunohistochemical staining studies. Methods: We assessed the degree of correlation between prognostic biologic ma...
