Abstract
Embodiments include an image acquisition circuit configured to access an image of a region of tissue demonstrating cancerous pathology, a nuclei detection and graphing circuit configured to detect cellular nuclei represented in the image; and construct a nuclear sub-graph based on the detected cellular nuclei, where a node of the sub-graph is a nuclear centroid of a cellular nucleus; a cell run length (CRF) circuit configured to compute a CRF vector based on the sub-graph; compute a set of CRF features based on the CRF vector and the sub-graph; and generate a CRF signature based, at least in part, on the set of CRF features; and a classification circuit configured to compute a probability that the region of tissue will experience cancer progression, based, at least in part, on the CRF signature; and generate a classification of the region of tissue as a progressor or non-progressor.
