Abstract
A method for classifying objects within a specimen as likely to be premalignant or malignant cells includes the steps of forming an intensity image of a specimen, calculating and storing the maximum and minimum grey scale values at a plural number of distances from a pixel in the intensity image, finding the difference between the maximum and minimum grey scale values at like distances from the pixel, determining the slope of the log of the differences as a function of the log of the distances, storing the slope at the pixel location in a resultant image, and identifying objects in the intensity image as likely to be malignant or premalignant based on the value of the slope.
