Method and apparatus for analysis of histopathology image data

Abstract

Methods as well as systems are provided for analysis of histopathology image data. In an embodiment, a method, for provision of similarity information regarding different histopathology images of a patient, includes: provisioning first histopathology image data, based on a tissue sample taken from a patient at a first point in time; provisioning second histopathology image data, based on a tissue sample taken from the patient at a second point in time, different from the first point in time; analyzing, using an image processing algorithm, the first histopathology image data and the second histopathology image data for a similarity between at least one region from the first histopathology image data indicating a pathological appraisal and at least one region from the second histopathology image data indicating a pathological appraisal; determining similarity information based on the analyzing of the image processing algorithm for the similarity; and provisioning the similarity information determined.
