Abstract
A method for the analysis of a biological sample for determining a change thereof relative to a healthy biological sample includes creating a first image of the biological sample at a first acquisition modality and creating a second image of the biological samples at a second acquisition modality. The first image is classified on the basis of a first pre-determined parameter, and the second image is classified on the basis of a second pre-determined parameter, the first image being classified independently of the second image. Then, depending on the classification results, it is determined if the biological sample comprises a change relative to a healthy biological sample.
Claims7
A method for the analysis of a biological sample to determine a change relative to a healthy biological sample, comprising:
- creating a first image of the biological sample at a first acquisition modality;
- creating a second image of the biological sample at a second acquisition modality, the first acquisition modality and the second acquisition modality being different, and the first acquisition modality and the second acquisition modality being selected from a group of acquisition modalities including a transmitted-light acquisition modality, a fluorescence acquisition modality, and a phase contrast acquisition modality;
- classifying the first image on the basis of a first predetermined parameter;
- classifying the second image on the basis of a second predetermined parameter, the first image being classified independently of the second image;
- and
- depending on the classification results, determining if the biological sample comprises a change relative to a healthy biological sample.
