New Computer-aided Follicular Lymphoma Image Analysis Research Publications

Two papers from the CIALAB have been accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging and Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics. The abstracts are below. Partitioning Histopathological Images: An Integrated Framework for Supervised Color-Texture Segmentation and Cell Splitting Kong, H.; Gurcan, M.; Belkacem- Boussaid, K.; ABSTRACT For quantitative analysis of histopathological images, such as the lymphoma grading systems, quantification of features is usually carried out on single cells before categorizing them by classification algorithms. To this end, we propose an integrated framework consisting of a novel supervised cell-image segmentation algorithm and a new touching-cell splitting method. For the segmentation part, we segment the cell regions from the other areas by classifying the image pixels into either cell or extra-cellular category. Instead of using pixel color intensities, the color-texture extracted at the local neighborhood of each pixel i
