Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 19:
20. A method comprising:
accessing an image of a region of tissue demonstrating a disease, and containing a plurality of cellular structures, at least some of the plurality of cellular structures being of different types;
for each cellular structure of a subset of the plurality of cellular structures, extracting one or more cell structure-level features from that cellular structure, at least some of the one or more cell structure-level features being indicative of the different types;
constructing one or more graphs, wherein each of the one or more graphs is based on both (a) the one or more cell structure-level features, and (b) one or more spatial relationships between at least one cellular structure of the subset and one or more other cellular structures of the subset, the one or more cell structure-level features and the one or more spatial relationships being independent of one another, such that said constructing differentiates between the different types of the plurality of cellular structures;
computing one or more graph-level features based on the one or more graphs; and
generating a medical prediction related to the disease based, at least in part, on the one or more graph-level features.
