Segmentation of glandular epithelium in colorectal tumours to automatically compartmentalise IHC biomarker quantification: a deep learning approach

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is an efficient and routinely used technique to localise a specific antigen in a tissue sample and its cell components. This staining technique is commonly employed for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in histopathology as well as for biomarker validation in clinical research. Whole slide scanning and image analysis tools now enable to objectively and quantitatively evaluate IHC biomarkers in a whole tissue slide or a specific region of interest delineated by a pathologist.
