Drs. Gurcan and Fauzi Published in BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making

Drs. Gurcan and Fauzi are published in BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making with their paper Classification of follicular lymphoma: the effect of computer aid on pathologists grading. Their paper presents a system, called Follicular Lymphoma Grading System (FLAGS), to assist the pathologist in grading FL cases. The results of this study show that FLAGS can be useful in increasing the pathologists’ accuracy in grading the tissue. To the best of our knowledge, this study measure, for the first time, the effect of computerized image analysis on pathologists’ grading of follicular lymphoma. When fully developed, such systems have the potential to reduce sampling bias by examining an increased proportion of HPFs within follicle regions, as well as to reduce inter- and intra-reader variability.
