Identifying Sets of Image Elements as Representative of a Sample Property for Pathology

Abstract

A method of identifying sets of image elements as representative of a sample property for pathology includes receiving pathology image data representing sample images representing adjacent or overlapping portions of a sample for analysis in pathology, each of the sample images including sample image elements; causing a function to be applied to the sample images to determine confidence scores associated with the sample image elements and representing a level of confidence that the associated sample image element represents the sample property; comparing the confidence scores with a candidate confidence threshold to identify a candidate set of adjacent sample image elements, each associated with a confidence score greater than the candidate confidence threshold; determining whether a representative confidence score is greater than a confirmation confidence threshold; and, if so, associating the candidate set of adjacent sample image elements with a sample property identifier.
