Abstract

The present techniques include methods and systems for finding correspondences between tissue spots in tissue microarray serial sections belonging to the same recipient block. The present techniques may also be used to relate individual tissue cores to clinical information. Using either a whole slide image or the relative x-y coordinates of the tissue spots on the slide, individual tissue spots in different tissue microarrays may be linked to one another and their clinical information.
