Abstract
In a computer implemented method of determining a boundary of a tumor region or other diseased tissue, hyper- or multispectral image data of a tissue sample including a tumor region or other diseased tissue is taken. The analysis includes a morphological analysis and a spectral analysis of the hyper- or multispectral image data resulting in a morphological tumor boundary and a spectral tumor boundary or a morphological diseased tissue boundary and a spectral diseased tissue boundary. These two boundaries are combined resulting in a combined tumor boundary or combined diseased tissue boundary, wherein an indication of reliability of the combined tumor boundary or combined diseased tissue boundary is given.
