Method and system for analyzing biological specimens by spectral imaging

A system for classifying a biological sample, comprising:

• a memory in communication with a processor, wherein the memory and the processor are cooperatively configured to:
• receive a spectral image of a biological sample;
• apply a heuristic to the spectral image to identify one or more regions in the biological sample for isolated testing or analysis;
• identify at least one region of interest in the spectral image based on the applied heuristic for micro-dissection of the biological sample to perform the isolated testing or analysis;
• and
• aid in a harvesting of the at least one region of interest of the biological sample.

A computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer device, comprising:

• at least one instruction for causing the computer device to receive a spectral image of a biological sample;
• at least one instruction for causing the computer device to apply a heuristic to the spectral image to identify one or more regions in the biological sample for isolated testing or analysis;
• at least one instruction for causing the computer device to identify at least one region of interest in the spectral image based on the applied heuristic for micro-dissection of the biological sample to perform the isolated testing or analysis;
• and
• at least one instruction for causing the computer device to aid in a harvesting of the at least one region of interest of the biological sample.
