  • Patent number: 10209165
    Abstract: The quality of staining histological specimens has an impact on the histological assessment of the specimen. One of the causes for variability in the accuracy is the variations in the staining of the specimens to be tested in the working laboratories. The present invention provides a method for assessing the staining quality in a working laboratory and providing a quantitative quality measure for the staining quality. Thereby, it is possible for each working laboratory to evaluate their staining quality and to get feedback of how to improve the quality. The invention further relates to a system and a software program for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 9697582
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a system for obtaining and analyzing image pairs, obtained as sections of specimen. The invention facilitates registration of two corresponding images, one from each section of the specimen. The invention includes performing a registration process of the two images thereby obtaining a mathematical transformation rule and afterwards using said transformation rule for each image field identified in one image allowing that the corresponding image field in the other image may be identified as well. After the corresponding image pairs have been obtained using the method of the present invention, the sections can be assessed, such as by identifying the counting events for at least one type of object on the image fields within at least one corresponding image pair, optionally using automatic means.
