Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein are directed, among other things, to imaging systems, methods, and apparatuses for automatically identifying fields of view (FOVs) for regions in an image encompassing tumor are disclosed. In embodiments and in further aspects of the present invention, a computer-implemented method is disclosed for a tumor region based immune score computation. The method, in accordance with the present invention, involves identifying regions, for example, tumor areas or regions around a tumor area, partitioning a whole slide image or portion of a whole slide image into multiple regions related to the tumor, selecting FOVs within each identified region, and computing a number of cells present in each FOV. An immune score and/or immune-related score may be generated based on the cells counted in each FOV.
