Aims. In tissue counter analysis (TCA) digital images of complex histologic sections are dissected into elements of equal size and shape, and digital information comprising grey level, colour and texture features is calculated for each element. In this study we assessed the feasibility of TCA for the quantitative description of amount and also of distribution of immunostained material. Methods. In a first step, our system was trained for differentiating between background and tissue on the one hand and between immunopositive and so‐called other tissue on the other. In a second step, immunostained slides were automatically screened and the procedure was tested for the quantitative description of amount of cytokeratin (CK) and leukocyte common antigen (LCA) immunopositive structures. Additionally, fractal analysis was applied to all cases describing the architectural distribution of immunostained material. Results. The procedure yielded reproducible assessments of the relative amounts of immunopositive tissue components when the number and percentage of CK and LCA stained structures was assessed. Furthermore, a reliable classification of immunopositive patterns was found by means of fractal dimensionality. Conclusions. Tissue counter analysis combined with classification trees and fractal analysis is a fully automated and reproducible approach for the quantitative description in immunohistology.

Defining region of interests (ROIs) containing abnormal lesions on digital mammograms is the first step in many Computer-Aided-Diagnosis (CAD) systems for the classification of early signs of breast cancer as malignant or benign. The motivation of this paper is to study the efficiency of automated methods used in clustered microcalcifications (MCCs) detection module of a proposed CAD system. The proposed methods are based on several image processing concepts, such as morphological processing, fractal analysis, adaptive wavelet transform, local maxima detection and high-order statistics (HOS) tests. We applied these methods on a set of MIAS database mammograms. The mammograms consisted of two groups, which were cancerous (clustered MCCs) and non-cancerous (normal) and they were digitized at a size of 1024 by 1024 with 256 gray levels. The results showed that the efficiency of HOS test, fractal analysis and morphological approach were 99%, 92% and 74%, respectively. It was proven that the HOS test was the most efficient, and gave reliable results for every mammogram tested.
