Automated Quantitation of Immunocytochemically Localized Estrogen Receptors in Human Breast Cancer
Richard A. McClelland,Pauline Finlay,K.J. Walker,Denise Nicholson,John F.R. Robertson,Roger W. Blamey,Robert Ian Nicholson +6 more
TL;DR: Automated image analysis offers a reliable, reproducible procedure for quantifying ER in immunocytochemically stained sections and is anticipate becoming a valuable tool in investigations concerning, for example, the influence of heterogeneity of steroid receptor distribution on the rate of recurrence of breast cancer after mastectomy and in the clinical course of the disease.

Morphological classification system and method
Randall L. Luck,Richard Scott +1 more
- 29 Jan 1991
TL;DR: In this article, a method of classifying cells based upon their morphology was proposed, including the steps of obtaining a first image of at least part of a cytological specimen, classifying objects in the first image on the basis of a predetermined criteria, obtaining a second image of one of the objects most likely to have a predefined criteria, and displaying at least some of the second image to produce a visual display of the object most likely having a pre-defined criteria.
