Abstract (en)
[origin: DE19616997A1] An automated, microscope-assisted examination process of tissue or bodily fluid samples is carried out by means of neuronal networks. In a first examination process, the sample is at first classified according to its type and then a digitised image is divided into contiguous segments which are examined by one or several neuronal networks. The sample is classified as pathological when it contains cell types which do not correspond to the type of the sample or when structural cell or tissue changes are present. In a second examination process, the digitised image is again segmented and the segments are checked for the presence of a cell object. The cell object is then examined to ascertain whether it is a single cell or a cell complex. A third evaluation stage ascertains whether the detected cell object lies at one of the image boundaries. If that is the case, an image is again recorded in which the detected cell objects are entirely contained. Finally, the segments in which cell objects have been detected are recorded with higher magnification for evaluation purposes.
