An automated approach to the segmentation of HEp-2 cells for the indirect immunofluorescence ANA test

Pattern recognition techniques are at the basis of computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems in a large number of medical applications. Such systems support and facilitate the decision of the physicians, help reducing diagnosis errors and enable massive screening at a moderate cost, with tremendous positive impact on health care quality and economy [1]. This motivates an ever growing interest of the research community in providing solutions to the most challenging medical problems.
