  • Publication number: 20230096719
    Abstract: A method (and system) of segmenting one or more histological structures in a tissue image represented by multi-parameter cellular and sub-cellular imaging data includes receiving coarsest level image data for the tissue image, wherein the coarsest level image data corresponds to a coarsest level of a multiscale representation of first data corresponding to the multi-parameter cellular and sub-cellular imaging data. The method further includes breaking the coarsest level image data into a plurality of non-overlapping superpixels, assigning each superpixel a probability of belonging to the one or more histological structures using a number of pre-trained machine learning algorithms to create a probability map, extracting an estimate of a boundary for the: one or more histological structures by applying a contour algorithm to the probability map, and using the estimate of the boundary to generate a refined boundary for the one or more histological structures.

  • Publication number: 20220215935
    Abstract: A method of characterizing cellular phenotypes includes receiving multi-parameter cellular and sub-cellular imaging data for a number of tissue samples from a number of patients or a number of multicellular in vitro models, performing cellular segmentation on the multi-parameter cellular and sub-cellular imaging data to create segmented multi-parameter cellular and sub-cellular imaging data, and performing recursive decomposition on the segmented multi-parameter cellular and subcellular imaging data to identify a plurality of computational phenotypes. The recursive decomposition includes a plurality of levels of decomposition with each level of decomposition including soft/probabilistic clustering and spatial regularization, and each cell in the segmented multi-parameter cellular and subcellular imaging data is probabilistically assigned to one or more of the plurality of computational phenotypes.
