However, the truth is not as simple as this, as there are usually several factors at work explaining the ...

New Software For Analyzing Digital Pathology Separates Malignancy From Background Tissue In Bladder Cancer Test Case

January 14, 2012
As tissue slides are more routinely digitized to aid interpretation, a software program whose design was led by the University of Michigan Health System is proving its utility. In a new study, a program known as Spatially Invariant Vector Quantization (SIVQ) was able to separate malignancy from background tissue in ...
