Abstract:
A program storage device having a computer readable program code embodied therein for classifying an unknown tissue cell, said program storage device comprising:a first computer readable code, said first computer readable code implementing a neural network having a plurality of neurons, said neural network having a plurality of interconnections coupling said plurality of neurons; a second computer readable code, said second computer readable code having a plurality of weight factors representative of said interconnections, said weight factors having been derived by training said neural network on a training data set representative of a plurality of imaging variables from a known tissue cell, said imaging variables comprising an area, an average intensity, a shape, a texture, and a DNA content; and a third computer readable code, said third computer readable code capable of applying a sample data set from said unknown tissue cell representative of said plurality of imaging variables to said weight factors of said second computer readable code for classifying said tissue cell as normal or abnormal.
