Abstract:
Certain aspects of an apparatus and method for automatic ER/PR scoring of tissue samples may include for determining a cancer diagnosis score comprising identifying a positive stained nucleus in a slide image of the tissue sample, identifying a negative stained nucleus in the slide image, computing a proportion score based on number of the positive stained nucleus identified and number of the negative stained nucleus identified and determining the cancer diagnosis score based on the proportion.

Claim (Index 21):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more computer programs adapted to cause a processor based system to execute steps comprising:\n determining, from tissue sample image information in an optical density format, a first number of nuclei within the tissue sample image information; identifying nuclei based in part on a size of one or more nuclei; determining, from the tissue sample image information in the optical density format, positive stain image information indicating positive stained content of the tissue sample image information; determining, from the positive stain image information, a second number of positive stained nuclei within the tissue sample image information; calculating a percentage of positive stained nuclei based at least in part on the first number and the second number; receiving the tissue sample image information from a microscope, where the tissue sample image information includes at least a portion of image information of tissue stained with an immunohistochemical stain, and where the tissue sample image inforation includes an indication of levels in the stained tissue of a marker for a particular cancer; generating a cancer diagnosis score based at least in part on the percentage of positive stained nuclei; and outputting the cancer diagnosis score.
