The disclosure relates to a method for detecting the presence of at least one
data point representative of malignant
cell proliferation within a histopathological image, said method being implemented within an electronic
processing device.Such a process comprises: - a segmentation (S01) of the representative image of the
tissue section, yielding a set of tiles of predetermined size, each tile having a position within the representative image of the
tissue section; - a determination (S02), for each tile in the set of tiles, of a
data point representing the number of
malignant cells and a
data point representing the total number of cells, these data points being inserted respectively into a first matrix Mp and a second matrix Mt, each element of which is associated with a tile position within the representative image of the
tissue section; - a detection (S03) of the presence of malignant
cell proliferation within said histopathological image, said detection implementing calculations of data groupings from the first matrix Mp and the second matrix Mt, according to an
algorithm for distributing calculations in parallel. Fig. 1.
