A method for training an artificial intelligence system and for recognizing and classifying cells for histopathological tissue examination, under use of the artificial intelligence system, wherein in a learning stage, the method comprises the steps of:
- a) manual marking of cells to be detected by the artificial intelligence system in digital images of histological tissue sections,
- b) each marking is assigned to either one of at least one tumor cell class or one of at least one non-tumor cell class,
- c) a number of marked digital images according to steps a) and b) are entered into the artificial intelligence system for deep learning purposes,
- d) the artificial intelligence system learns characteristics of the at least one tumor cell class and the at least one non-tumor cell class from the marked digital images, to establish a model for cell detection and classification,
- in an analysis stage, the following steps are performed:
- e) obtaining digital images of histological tissue sections,
- f) according to the model, the artificial intelligence system detects the cells and classifies them into the at least one tumor cell class and/or the at least one non-tumor cell class.
