Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for computer aided phenotyping of fibrosis-related conditions. A digital image indicates presence of collagens in a biological tissue sample. The image is processed to quantify parameters, each parameter describing a feature of the collagens that is expected to be different for different phenotypes of fibrosis. At least some features are tissue level features that describe macroscopic characteristics of the collagens, morphometric level features that describe morphometric characteristics of the collagens, and texture level features that describe an organization of the collagens. At least some of the plurality of parameters are statistics associated with histograms corresponding to distributions of the associated parameters across at least some of the digital image. At least some of the plurality of parameters are combined to obtain one or more composite scores that quantify a phenotype of fibrosis for the biological tissue sample.
