Abstract
This invention is directed to improvement of the accuracy of cancer differentiation in the pathologic diagnosis using a pathologic tissue image analysis. There are included a stroma area/duct area detecting module for detecting, from a biological tissue image, a duct area on the basis of duct characteristic information indicating the characteristic of ducts included in a tissue area in the biological tissue image; an intraduct cell-nucleus detecting module for extracting, based on a predetermined pigment reference, cell nucleuses included in the detected duct area; and a duct formation evaluating module for calculating a heterotypic degree of each duct on the basis of the distribution state of the cell nucleuses for a predetermined base areas in each duct.
