ActiveUS12392723B2Image enhancementImage analysisImmunofluorescenceImmunofluorescent microscopy
There is proposed a method for detecting a presence of a fluorescence pattern type on an organ segment via immunofluorescence microscopy and digital image processing. The steps comprise: provision of the organ segment, incubation of the organ segment with a liquid patient sample, incubation of the organ segment with secondary antibodies which have been labelled with a fluorescent dye, acquisition of a fluorescence image of the organ segment in a colour channel corresponding to the fluorescent dye, and provision of the fluorescence image to a neural network. What takes place by means of the neural network is simultaneous determination of segmentation information through segmentation of the fluorescence image and, furthermore, of a measure of confidence indicating an actual presence of the fluorescence pattern type. What further takes place is determination, on the basis of the previously determined segmentation information, of at least one sub-area of the fluorescence image that is relevant to formation of the fluorescence pattern type, determination, on the basis of the previously determined at least one sub-area, of validity information indicating a degree of a validity of the measure of confidence, and output of the measure of confidence depending on the validity information.
