  • Abstract
    This work presents the first fully-automated computer-aided analysis approach to the quantification of the expression of receptors for the non-small cell lung carcinoma. This immunohistochemical analysis is usually performed by pathologists via visual inspection of tissue samples images. Our techniques streamlines this error-prone and time-consuming process, thereby facilitating analysis and diagnosis. Experimental results on several real-life datasets demonstrate the high quantitative precision of our approach
