Determination of fundamental mechanisms of disease often hinges on histopathology visualization and quantitative image analysis. Currently, the analysis of multi-channel fluorescence tissue images is primarily achieved by manual…
Clusters of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), although rare, may account for more than 95% of metastases. Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a highly aggressive subtype that chiefly metastasizes via CTC clusters. Theory suggests that…
The differentiation between pathological subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an essential step in guiding treatment options and prognosis. However, current clinical practice relies on multi-step staining and labelling…
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide. The standard histopathology of breast tissue, the primary means of disease diagnosis, involves manual microscopic examination of stained tissue by a pathologist. Because…
Flow cytometry (FC) is a single-cell profiling platform for measuring the phenotypes of individual cells from millions of cells in biological samples. FC employs high-throughput technologies and generates high-dimensional data, and hence…
We propose a fully-automated method for accurate and robust detection and segmentation of potentially cancerous lesions found in the liver and in lymph nodes. The process is performed in three steps, including organ detection, lesion…
Accurately and quickly binuclear cell (BC) detection plays a significant role in predicting the risk of leukemia and other malignant tumors. However, manual microscopy counting is time-consuming and lacks objectivity. Moreover, with the…
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) secondary to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) represents a critical diagnostic challenge, with approximately 64,000 TBI-related deaths annually in the United States. Current diagnostic modalities including Computed…
Lymph node metastasis is one of the most significant diagnostic indicators in breast cancer, which is traditionally observed under the microscope by pathologists. In recent years, computerized histology diagnosis has become one of the most…
In this thesis, we propose a light-weight sparsity-based algorithm, basic thresholding classifier (BTC), for classification applications (such as face identification, hyper-spectral image classification, etc.) which is capable of…
Current methods for diagnosing the progression of multiple types of cancer within patients rely on interpreting stained needle biopsies. This process is time-consuming and susceptible to error throughout the paraffinization, Hematoxylin and…
Breast cancer is the second most responsible for all cancer types and has been the cause of numerous deaths over the years, especially among women. Any improvisation of the existing diagnosis system for the detection of cancer can…
Recently, a new form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) called synthetic correlated diffusion (CDI$^s$) imaging was introduced and showed considerable promise for clinical decision support for cancers such as prostate cancer when compared…
The level of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is a prognostic factor for patients with (triple-negative) breast cancer (BC). Computational TIL assessment (CTA) has the potential to assist pathologists in this labour-intensive task,…
Mammography is the primary imaging modality used for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. X-ray mammogram analysis mainly refers to the localization of suspicious regions of interest followed by segmentation, towards further…
The ability of detecting and separating CTCs can play a key role in early cancer detection and treatment. In recent years, there has been growing interest in using deformability-based CTC separation microfilters due to their simplicity and…
Automating tissue segmentation and tumor detection in histopathology images of colorectal cancer (CRC) is an enabler for faster diagnostic pathology workflows. At the same time it is a challenging task due to low availability of public…
The primary and metastatic stages of BC consider different cancerous cell lines (MDAs), meaning the highest number of cells in this research (300,000) represents the metastatic stages of BC, and 50,000 represents the primary level of BC…
Accurate detection of mitosis plays a critical role in breast cancer histopathology. Manual detection and counting of mitosis is tedious and subject to considerable inter- and intra-reader variations. Multispectral imaging is a recent…
Flow cytometry is often used to characterize the malignant cells in leukemia and lymphoma patients, traced to the level of the individual cell. Typically, flow cytometric data analysis is performed through a series of 2-dimensional…
