Abstract
The detection accuracy of poorly differentiated cancers in adenocarcinoma is improved by restricting false detection. Cell nucleus detection meansreceives a digitized pathological image as an input and extracts the region of a cell nucleus therefrom. Gland duct detection meansdetects a gland duct structure in the image. Poorly differentiated cancer detection meansdetects poorly differentiated cancers only in the region other than the gland duct region. False detection rejection meanscompares the detection density of poorly differentiated cancer in the vicinity of a detection point with a threshold that is predetermined depending on gland duct density in the vicinity of the detection point, at each detection point detected by poorly differentiated cancer detection meansand rejects the detection point as a false detection if the detection density of a poorly differentiated cancer is smaller than the threshold.
