Image analysis in pathology

A system for facilitating image analysis in pathology, the system comprising at least one processor configured to:

• receive a sample image representing a sample for analysis in pathology, the sample image including a plurality of sample image elements;
• cause one or more functions to be applied to the sample image to determine a plurality of property specific confidence related scores, each of the plurality of property specific confidence related scores associated with one of the plurality of sample image elements and a respective one of one or more sample properties, the property specific confidence related score representing a level of confidence that the associated sample image element represents the associated sample property;
• sort a set of sample image elements of the plurality of sample image elements based at least in part on the property specific confidence related scores associated with the set of sample image elements;
• produce signals for causing one or more of the set of sample image elements to be displayed to a user in an order based on the sorting;
• for each of the one or more sample image elements displayed,
• receive user input;
• and
• cause the user input to be used to update the one or more functions.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon codes that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to:

• receive a sample image representing a sample for analysis in pathology, the sample image including a plurality of sample image elements;
• cause one or more functions to be applied to the sample image to determine a plurality of property specific confidence related scores, each of the plurality of property specific confidence related scores associated with one of the plurality of sample image elements and a respective one of one or more sample properties, the property specific confidence related score representing a level of confidence that the associated sample image element represents the associated sample property;
• sort a set of sample image elements of the plurality of sample image elements based at least in part on the property specific confidence related scores associated with the set of sample image elements;
• produce signals for causing one or more of the set of sample image elements to be displayed to a user in an order based on the sorting;
• for each of the one or more sample image elements displayed,
• receive user input;
• and
• cause the user input to be used to update the one or more functions.

A system for facilitating image analysis in pathology, the system comprising:

• means for receiving a sample image representing a sample for analysis in pathology, the sample image including a plurality of sample image elements;
• means for causing one or more functions to be applied to the sample image to determine a plurality of property specific confidence related scores, each of the plurality of property specific confidence related scores associated with one of the plurality of sample image elements and a respective one of one or more sample properties, the property specific confidence related score representing a level of confidence that the associated sample image element represents the associated sample property;
• means for sorting a set of sample image elements of the plurality of sample image elements based at least in part on the property specific confidence related scores associated with the set of sample image elements;
• means for producing signals for causing one or more of the set of sample image elements to be displayed to a user in an order based on the sorting;
• means for, for each of the one or more sample image elements displayed, receiving user input;
• and
• means for causing the user input to be used to update the one or more functions.
