  • Publication number: 20240118209
    Abstract: A method is proposed for detecting at least one fluorescence pattern on an immunofluorescence image of a biological cell substrate, comprising the following steps: incubating the cell substrate with a liquid patient sample, which potentially includes primary antibodies, and furthermore with secondary antibodies, which are marked using a fluorescence stain, irradiating the cell substrate using excitation radiation and capturing the immunofluorescence image, determining segmentation information comprising at least one first and one second segmentation area, wherein the segmentation areas each represent a respective cell substrate area, via segmentation of the immunofluorescence image using a first neural network, determining a boundary area, which represents a transition from the first cell substrate area towards the second cell substrate area in the fluorescence image, on the basis of the segmentation information, selecting multiple partial images from the immunofluorescence image along the boundary area, dete

  • Publication number: 20240119589
    Abstract: A method is proposed for detecting a presence of a fluorescence pattern on an immunofluorescence image of a biological cell substrate, comprising the following steps: incubating the cell substrate with a liquid patient sample, which potentially comprises primary antibodies, and furthermore with secondary antibodies, which are marked using a fluorescence stain, irradiating the cell substrate using excitation radiation and capturing the immunofluorescence image, determining respective items of location information, which indicate respective locations of respective relevant subsections of the cell substrate in the fluorescence image, and determining respective first partial confidence measures of respective presences of the fluorescence pattern on the respective subsections by means of a first neural network on the basis of the overall fluorescence image, extracting respective image subsections, which correspond to the respective subsections of the cell substrate, from the fluorescence image on the basis of the
