Application description
This application automatically detects and counts tumor cell nuclei in immunohistochemically (IHC) stained sections of human breast cancer. Positively (brown) and negatively (blue) stained nuclei are counted separately. The ratio of the detected positively and negatively stained nuclei is calculated. The application was developed and tested with microscopy images of human tissue sections.
In the following sections, we provide the necessary input data requirements that are necessary to obtain accurate image analysis results and a description of the output files.
Input data requirements
Input image(s)
Input for this application is the following image data:
Image type | Color channels | Color depth (per channel) | Size (px) | Resolution (μm/px) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
2D (standard and/or WSI)
| 3 (RGB) | 8 Bit
| WSI formats: Min: 640 x 480 Standard images: Min: 640 x 480
| Typically: 0.3 - 0.5 |
Image content Microscopy image of IHC Ki-67 stained sample, typically taken with 20x magnification. Additional requirements
| ||||
Important:
For all images, the following requirements apply:
The illumination must be constant throughout the image(s).
The sample must be in focus, i.e. no blurry regions in image(s).
Input parameter(s)
No additional input parameters are required for this application.
Description of output files and their content
Files
File format | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | csv | results.csv: A csv file containing global analysis results for the input image. |
| 2 | jpg | results_visualization.jpg: A visualization of the analysis:
 Please note: This file is only generated for standard images (not for Whole Slide Images). |
| 3 | json | annotation_results.json: JSON file containing positions of detected nuclei. The position is measured from the left upper corner (1,1) of the image. |
Content
results.csv
Single csv-file
Column NO. | Column name | Examples | Value range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | nuclei count | 1232 | 0 - | Number of detected nuclei. |
2 | blue nuclei count | 386 | 0 - | Number of detected blue nuclei. |
3 | brown nuclei count | 846 | 0 - | Number of detected brown nuclei. |
4 | ratio brown/blue nuclei | 2.19 | 0 - inf | Number of brown nuclei divided by the number of blue nuclei. if blue=0 the result is "inf" (infinity). |
