Biomarkers in pulmonary adenocarcinomas

Lung is a notoriously difficult organ for conducting reproducible image analysis, due to both the challenges of consistent histology processes in lung tissue and the heterogeneity of various normal and neoplastic pulmonary features. Below is an example of how histology pattern recognition can be combined with both cell and area based image analysis. Pulmonary adenocarcinomas [...]

New vacuole algorithm — webinar

Below is the video from a webinar we gave on a new algorithm for measuring vacuolar spaces. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Presenters: Frank Voelker Event: Aperio Webinar

White fat measurement

White fat measurement is shown below with a Flagship algorithm that first segments and then individually identifies each fat vacuole. Statistics of area and perimeter per vacuole are counted, and histograms can be output as required. Some results are shown below. In areas where vacuoles are either not easily seen by eye, or where they [...]

Measuring lung alveoli

The ability to identify each alveoli in a lung section, and then to measure statistics on each one is important in several lung-related therapeutic research area including inhalation toxicology and emphysema research. A custom algorithm has been developed where each alveoli is identified, and then perimeter and area can be calculated and the results graphed [...]
