INSPECTION ASSISTANCE DEVICE, INSPECTION ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18267585 titled 'INSPECTION ASSISTANCE DEVICE, INSPECTION ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a technique for genetic testing of somatic cells, specifically in the context of pathological specimens. The technique involves acquiring image data of the specimen, estimating the content ratio of tumor cells in different regions of the image, determining a testing region based on the content ratio of tumor cells, and outputting information indicating the testing region.
- The technique involves acquiring image data of a pathological specimen.
- The content ratio of tumor cells in individual regions within a focus region is estimated.
- A testing region is determined within the focus region based on the content ratio of tumor cells in individual regions.
- Information indicating the testing region is outputted.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Genetic testing of somatic cells in pathological specimens.
- Identifying specific regions within a specimen for further analysis or testing.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient identification of regions within a pathological specimen that are most likely to contain relevant genetic information.
- Streamlining the genetic testing process by focusing on specific regions of interest.
Benefits of this technology:
- Saves time and resources by targeting specific regions for analysis, rather than testing the entire specimen.
- Increases the accuracy and efficiency of genetic testing by focusing on regions with a higher content ratio of tumor cells.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a technique that suggests a testing region suited to dissection in genetic testing of somatic cells. An acquisition unit () acquires image data of a pathological specimen; an estimation unit () estimates the content ratio of tumor cells in each of individual regions in a focus region in the image data of the pathological specimen; a determination unit () determines a testing region in the focus region on the basis of the content ratio of tumor cells in each of the individual regions in the focus region; and an output unit () outputs information indicating the testing region.
