Abstract
The disclosed subject matter relates to an automated determination of cell-by-cell segmentation quality of a tissue specimen sample. A training set of cells is examined by an expert to determine which cells that include 'good' segmentation and which cells include 'poor' segmentation. A training model is build based on the image data of the cells in the training set. Image data from cells in a test specimen is obtained and that image data is compared to the training model to determine on a cell-by-cell basis which cells in the test specimen include “good” segmentation and which cells include “poor” segmentation. The accumulated data on the cells analyzed in the test specimen can be utilized to determine an overall segmentation quality score for the area of the test specimen in which the individual cells are located in the test specimen.
