Abstract

In this paper, we propose a statistical approach for mitosis detection in breast cancer histological images. The proposed algorithm models the pixel intensities in mitotic and non-mitotic regions by a Gamma-Gaussian mixture model and employs a context-aware post-processing in order to reduce false positives. Experimental results demonstrate the ability of this simple, yet effective method to detect mitotic cells in standard H&E stained breast cancer histology images.
