  • Method to determine a degree of abnormality, a respective computer readable medium and a distributed cancer analysis system
    Patent number: 11954593
    Abstract: Current cancer screening methods are not suitable to be applied on a broad scale and are not transparent to the patient. The problem is solved by a method to determine a degree of abnormality, the method comprising the following steps: receiving a whole slide image, the whole slide image depicting at least a portion of a cell, classifying at least one image tile of the whole slide image using a neural network to determine a local abnormality degree value associated with the at least one image tile, the local abnormality degree value indicating a likelihood that the associated at least one segment depicts at least a part of a cancerous cell, and determining a degree of abnormality for the whole slide image based on the local abnormality degree value for the at least one image tile.
