IHC Membrane APP: HER2/neu in Breast Cancer
Within this project the aim was to measure the prominent diagnostic parameter for breast cancer, the intensity of the HER2/neu membrane staining and the completeness of the closure of the respective membrane rings. The biopsies were provided by the Medical University of Vienna.
The following images show some results of steps in the automated analysis process.

Tumor nuclei selected (red contour vs. green) in strong HER2/neu areas


Low angle of HER2/neu staining, low intensity
High angle of HER2/neu staining, high intensity
