ABSTRACT:
A semi-automated method of classifying a histological specimen for the presence of premalignant or malignant cells, including the steps of treating a specimen with an immunohistochemical marker to provide a visual indication of cell proliferation, ranking individual objects in the specimen in an order according to the likelihood that each object has attributes consistent with a premalignant or malignant cell or cell cluster, selecting for display a set of said objects according to said ranking, and displaying images of said selected objects to facilitate review by an operator.
