Abstract
The present disclosure provides for image processing systems and methods for analyzing digital images of biological samples stained for the presence of protein and/or nucleic acid biomarkers and detecting and quantifying signals corresponding to one or more biomarkers. The present disclosure also provides systems and methods for the clinical interpretation of dual ISH slides where the cells to score are selected (e.g. by using one or more cell detection and identification algorithms. By detecting, identifying, and selecting cells for assessment, it is believed that subjectivity is reduced or eliminated. The systems and methods also allow for an increased number of cells to be considered for scoring as compared with manual dot counting methods, thereby increasing detection sensitivity, ultimately enabling improved patient care and treatment.
