  • Publication number: 20190370960
    Abstract: Disclosures of the present invention describe a cross-staining and multi-biomarker method for assisting in cancer diagnosis. The method is configured to firstly divide a plurality of image frames of tissue slices to a group of H&E-stained slide images and a group of IHC-stained slide images. Subsequently, an image registration and fusion process is applied to at least two cross-stained slide images consisting of at least one H&E-stained slide image and at least one IHC-stained slide image, thereby producing a plurality of cross-stained slide images. Consequently, by applying a carcinoma identifying and quantifying analysis to the cross-stained slide images, the type of cancerous lesions contained by the tested tissue sample can be diagnosed effectively and accurately, without any human-made judgements.
