Definitions

• exemplary embodiments may access data corresponding to multiple biological tissue samples corresponding to a patient cohort including the first patient and one or more other patients with breast cancer. Exemplary embodiments may retrieve data for the cohort corresponding to one or more features
• the computer processor is also programmed to, in response to user input selecting a first biomarker and a first field of view corresponding to a biological tissue at the field of view selection component, render, on the graphical user interface, a first image of the selected first field of view corresponding to the biological tissue, the first image representing expression levels of the selected first biomarker and including representations of one or more biological units in the biological tissue.
• a file structure browser 306 may be displayed to allow the user to view a file structure in which data files are organized.
• the file structure browser 306 may allow the user to select one or more topmost level directories that include all of the image and/or text data corresponding to a study.
• a default data source may be automatically selected if the user fails to make a selection.
• the user interface may render in an overlaid manner the first image of the selected field-of-view of biological tissue in which expression levels of the first biomarker are automatically represented as one or more intensities of the first color, and a second image of the selected field-of-view corresponding to the biological tissue in which the expression levels of the second biomarker are automatically represented as one or more intensities of the second color.
• Exemplary embodiments may display expression of one or more DNA sequences and one or more protein biomarkers in an overlaid manner in the same display panel.
• the expression and non-expression of DNA sequences on a cell-by-cell basis may be determined based on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
• FISH is a technique used to detect and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on chromosomes.
• FISH is used in a similar manner as used for multiplexing to detect the hybridization of DNA probes at the cellular level.
• the probes may look like tiny bright dots on a dark background, with each dot representing a probe on one copy of the gene. The brighter a spot, the more likely it is that the dot represents overlapping copies of the gene.
• the morphological representation 1910 may facilitate identifying one or more biomarkers that are effective for isolating a target morphologically-related population of particles.
• the user interface may receive, at the field-of-view selection component, user input selecting a field-of-view of biological tissue.
• the user interface may also receive user input selection one or more biomarkers whose expression levels are to be displayed in the selected field-of-view of the biological tissue.
• the user interface may receive, at the clinical outcome selection component, user input selecting a clinical outcome, for example, positive diagnosis of a disease or tissue condition, negative diagnosis of a disease or tissue condition, a disease prognosis, a prediction of drug response, stratification into a clinically-relevant group, and the like.
• a clinical outcome for example, positive diagnosis of a disease or tissue condition, negative diagnosis of a disease or tissue condition, a disease prognosis, a prediction of drug response, stratification into a clinically-relevant group, and the like.
• the selection of the aspects of the field-of- view may be automatically expanded using a supervised learning method or algorithm encoded on one or more non-transitory computer-readable media and implemented as computer- executable instructions.
• the supervised leaming method may expand the selection of the aspects of the field-of-view by including one or more additional aspects in the same data cohort having one or more similar features. For example, if the user selects one or more biological units, exemplary embodiments may expand the selection with one or more additional biological units in the cohort having one or more similar features as in the user-selected biological units.
• the quality review selection component 2504 may include a "Next Marker" tool 2514 to allow a user to replace the first image displayed in the display panel 502 with a different image of the same field-of-view of biological tissue obtained by treating the biological tissue with a different biomarker than the biomarker used to obtain the first image.
• the user interface may render a second, different image of the selected field-of-view of biological tissue, while continuing to render the representation of the result of the selected morphological analysis such that the second image is overlaid by the representation of the result of the morphological analysis.
• the second image may replace the first image on the user interface.
• the second image result may be overlaid on the first image on the user interface.
• Figure 30 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary computer-implemented method performed in exemplary embodiments to allow a user to perform quality review of results of an image analysis method.
• the class may manage one or more file streams used to read files and/or images in the database, memory allocated to store temporary data and/or variables during the data access operations, and the like.
• Exemplary inputs to the class may include, but are not limited to, a class derived from the PathData interface class, information on specific images to be read, and the like.
• the "PathlmageData" class may query the data structures generated by the "PathData” class to selectively retrieve the data specified in the input.
• the attributes may include, but are not limited to, a unique identifier for the cell, a sample identifier identifying a sample, test, slide, and/or spot in which the cell was identified, a tissue identifier identifying a tissue that the cell is part of, and the like.
• the attributes may also include, but are not limited to, one or more types corresponding to the cell (e.g., a structural type like red blood cell, a morphological type like oversized, a diagnostic type like diseased, and the like), a size of the cell, the boundaries of the cell (e.g., the boundaries of the cell on an image of biological tissue), a location of the cell (e.g., a location of the cell on an image of biological tissue), and the like.
• the attributes may also include, but are not limited to, one or more expression levels associated with the cell (e.g., expression levels of one or more biomarkers, expression of one or more DNA sequences), and the like.
