Abstract :
A neural network assisted algorithm used for the detection of nuclei in biopsy images is presented. This algorithm is combined in a logical AND form with an algorithm based on receptive fields to build the nuclei detection part of an integrated system used for automated assessing of histological slides of breast biopsy specimens
