A method for determining a stage of fibrosis in a liver is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: (1a) obtaining input data relating to the liver, the input data being generated using a second harmonic generation based imaging system; (1b) identifying a plurality of morphological features of the liver from the input data relating to the liver; (1c) generating a plurality of measurements based on the identified plurality of morphological features; and (1d) determining the stage of fibrosis in the liver based, on the generated plurality of measurements.

Method and system for determining a stage of fibrosis in a liver

A method for assessing fibrosis in a tissue is proposed. The method uses a test image which is an image of the tissue and comprises identifying, from the test image, a portal collagen area, a septal collagen area and a fibrillar collagen area respectively comprising pixels representing portal collagen, septal collagen and fibrillar collagen of the tissue, obtaining quantitative values of one or more features for each identified area based on characteristics of the identified area in the test image and assessing fibrosis using the quantitative values obtained for all the identified areas.
