Minimum Spanning Trees (MST) as a Tool for Describing Tissue Architecture when Grading Bladder Carcinoma |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
In this pilot study we have investigated the possible use of minimum spanning trees, MST, as a way of quantitatively describing the tissue architecture when developing a computer program for malignancy grading of transitional cell bladder carcinoma. The MST was created by connecting the centre points of the nuclei in the tissue section image. These nuclei were found by thresholding the image at an automatically determined threshold followed by a connected component labeling and a watershed algorithm for separation of overlapping nuclei. Clusters were defined in the MST by thresholding the edge lengths. For these clusters geometric and densitometric features were measures. These features were compared by multivariate statistical methods to the subjective grading by the pathologists and the resulting correspondence was 85% on a material of 40 samples. |
