Automated orientation of a histopathology image to prepare it for optimal review by a human

A system for automated orientation of a histopathology image, the system comprising:

• at least one computer hardware processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing processor executable instructions, that when executed by the at least one computer hardware processor cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
• obtaining the histopathology image, the histopathology image depicting one or more tissue samples obtained from a biopsy;
• isolating image data corresponding to a target tissue from the tissues depicted in the histopathology image;
• identifying a contour of the target tissue using the image data corresponding to the target tissue;
• identifying an axis associated with the contour of the target tissue;
• identifying a rotation to be applied to the histopathology image based on the axis and a predetermined preferred orientation of the target tissue;
• and
• obtaining a reoriented histopathology image by applying the rotation to the histopathology image.
