Abstract
A digital pathology system and associated method and computer program product provide a quantitative analysis of entire tissue slides as well as intuitive, effective, fast, and precise quantification of biomarker expressions across relevant areas of the entire tissue slides. The digital pathology system enables a novel workflow that allows the user to efficiently outline clinically relevant morphology in its entirety, including solid tumor areas. Quantitative analysis results are then efficiently and intuitively provided to the user for all tissue content (i.e., millions of cells) within seconds. This efficiency is made possible by a pre-computation step that computes and stores image analysis results for later retrieval. Visualizing vast amount of data effectively is another component of the system that provides information and confidence to the user about the biomarker expression levels.
